Easy sidelineHD Setup For Baseball and Softball

Setting up your sidelineHD stream can feel like a lot of pressure. The game’s about to start and everyone is counting on you. Take a deep breath—you’ve got this. This video will walk you through a simple step-by-step setup so you can stream baseball and softball with confidence.

What You’ll Need

Before you head to the field, make sure you have the following essentials:

  • Two devices (one for streaming, one for scoring)

  • A phone clip

  • A fence mount with an attachable arm

  • A power bank

  • A charging cable

  • A small bag or pouch to carry your gear

Once you’ve got everything ready, it’s time to set up.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Attach Your Mount

Start by attaching your phone clip to the fence mount. This will hold your streaming device securely in place during the game.

2. Find the Right Spot

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.

3. Start Your Stream

Using your first device, open the sidelineHD app and begin setting up your livestream.

4. Set Your Camera Angle

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.

5. Connect Your Power

Plug your device into a power bank so your stream stays live from first pitch to final out. You can secure the power bank to the fence using a pouch, small bag, or even a tool belt for easy access.

6. Start Scoring the Game

Once your stream is live, grab your second device and open the sidelineHD app to begin scoring the game.
