Livestreaming youth sports used to be complicated, expensive, and reserved for the pros. Not anymore. With sidelineHD, you can start streaming your team’s games using just your smartphone—no bulky gear or technical know-how required.
Here’s everything you need to get started:
1. A Smartphone with Cellular Service or WiFi Access
Any modern smartphone will do the trick. Make sure it has a strong connection—either via WiFi or a solid cellular signal (4G or 5G recommended). This will ensure a smoother stream with less buffering or drops.
2. The sidelineHD App
Download the free sidelineHD App from the App Store or Google Play. The app walks you through the process of setting up your stream, keeping score, and sharing the game with fans.
3. A Mount or Tripod
Keep your camera steady by attaching your phone to a fence mount, tripod, or even a bungee cord setup. The steadier the stream, the better the viewing experience for friends and family at home.
Step 1: Create Your Team in the App
Once you’ve downloaded the sidelineHD App, set up your team profile with basic info like sport, team name, team level, and age group. You can also import your roster or enter players manually.
Step 2: Livestream Setup Flow
Click “Get Started.” Enter in your next game information. Choose how you’ll score your game. If you pick “Someone Else Will Help” you'll be prompted to add a team manager. Link your streaming destination, either to Youtube or Facebook
Step 3: Go Live
