Step-by-Step Setup
Start by attaching your phone clip to the fence mount. This will hold your streaming device securely in place during the game.
Position your mount on the fence behind home plate. Aim for a higher spot—the higher your camera, the better your angle. This helps avoid the umpire blocking the view and gives you a clear shot of the entire field.
Using your first device, open the sidelineHD app and begin setting up your livestream.

Place your streaming device into the phone clip and adjust the angle until you have a clean, unobstructed view of the field. Take a moment here, good framing makes a big difference for your viewers.
