To start live streaming with ScoreLive, you need to set up at least one YouTube channel in advance. Open the YouTube website on a computer (mobile phones and tablets are not supported for this step), sign in to your channel, click the “+ Create” button, and select “Go Live.” You will be asked to verify your account using a mobile phone number. Once you see the message that livestreaming will be enabled within 24 hours, the setup is complete. After that, you can go live at any time, with no subscriber requirement.

Alternatively, you can create a new YouTube channel directly at https://www.youtube.com/account and then enable livestreaming by following the same steps above.

If you need to support multiple streamers, we recommend moving your YouTube channel to a Brand Account or creating a new Brand Account specifically for livestreaming. You can follow YouTube’s setup guide here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7001996

Based on our testing, even when switching a mobile browser to “Desktop Site” mode, Facebook Live Producer may still fail to properly display the RTMP preview or allow users to start/end the live stream.

For the most stable experience, we currently recommend using a computer to control the start and end of the stream through Facebook Live Producer, while using ScoreLive on your mobile device for RTMP video streaming.

(Note: We will continue working to improve the Facebook live streaming experience.)

Remote Control is available with a paid subscription. To use this feature, both phones must have the same ScoreLive app installed and be connected to the same network, either through a mobile hotspot or the same Wi-Fi network.

Once connected, one phone can be used as the streaming device, while the other serves as the remote control. After pairing the two devices by scanning the QR Code, you can control the scoreboard remotely, allowing streaming and scorekeeping to be handled separately and more efficiently.

The following example uses an iPhone as the streaming device and an Oppo phone as the remote control. Other phone brands and models can also be used.

1. Connect Both Devices to the Same Network
   Turn on Personal Hotspot on the iPhone and connect the Oppo phone to the iPhone's hotspot.
2. Enable Remote Control on the Streaming Device
   Once both devices are connected, open ScoreLive on the iPhone and enter the streaming control screen. Do not start the livestream yet. Open the Advanced panel, tap Remote Control, and enter the QR Code pairing screen. Make sure the IP address and port information are displayed.
3. Pair the Remote Control Device
   Open ScoreLive on the Oppo phone. On the My Live page, tap Remote Control in the upper-right corner to enter the remote control screen. Confirm that the port number matches the one shown on the streaming device, then tap Scan QR Code and scan the QR Code displayed on the iPhone. Once paired successfully, you can use the Oppo phone to remotely control the scoreboard.

Troubleshooting

If the devices cannot connect, or if the remote control connection is interrupted, disconnect Remote Control on the streaming device first. Close and reopen ScoreLive, then repeat the pairing steps above.

If the streaming device loses its network connection during a livestream and later reconnects, the previously generated QR Code token may expire, causing Remote Control to stop working. If this happens, please restart the Remote Control connection and scan the newly generated QR Code to pair the devices again.

ScoreLive supports external cameras, camcorders, and other HDMI video sources, allowing you to use professional camera equipment instead of your phone’s built-in camera for livestreaming. To use an external video source, you’ll need a compatible video capture device to send the HDMI signal to your phone. The supported devices and connection methods are different for iOS and Android.

iOS Version

ScoreLive for iOS supports external HDMI video through Accsoon SeeMo devices. Currently available for ScoreLive Baseball, with more sports coming soon.

• Connection: Camera / Camcorder → HDMI → Accsoon SeeMo → iPhone
• Setup:

1. Connect the HDMI output of your camera or camcorder to the Accsoon SeeMo, then connect the SeeMo to your iPhone.
2. Once everything is connected, open ScoreLive and enter the livestream control screen.
3. Open the Advanced panel and find Video Source.
4. Select HDMI to switch the video source to the external video feed from SeeMo.
5. Make sure the video preview is displayed correctly, then start your livestream.

You can also switch between the iPhone’s built-in camera and the external video source during a livestream.

Before You Start

External video compatibility may vary depending on your phone model, operating system, capture device, and the HDMI output format of your camera. A capture device supporting UVC does not necessarily guarantee compatibility with ScoreLive, so we recommend using devices that have been tested by us whenever possible.

If no video appears after connecting your equipment, check that the HDMI cable and capture device are properly connected. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the equipment, then reopen ScoreLive.

For longer livestreams, make sure your phone, camera, and capture device have sufficient power. External video equipment may consume additional power, so a reliable power setup is recommended to prevent interruptions during your livestream.

Yes. Your ScoreLive paid subscription can be used on multiple devices, but each device must be signed in with the same account that was used to purchase the subscription.

• iOS Version

If you subscribed to ScoreLive through the App Store, your other iPhone or iPad must be signed in with the same Apple Account used to purchase the subscription. If you switch to a new device, reinstall the app, or ScoreLive does not recognize your subscription, first make sure you are signed in with the correct Apple Account, then use Restore Purchases in ScoreLive. Additionally, the iOS version now supports Family Sharing.

• Android Version

If you subscribed to ScoreLive through Google Play, your other Android devices must be signed in with the same Google Account used to purchase the subscription. If you switch to a new device, reinstall the app, or ScoreLive does not recognize your subscription, first make sure Google Play is using the same Google Account that was used for the original purchase.

• Please Note

Your subscription is linked to the Apple Account or Google Account used for the purchase, not to a specific device. This means you do not need to purchase another subscription when switching devices. However, subscriptions cannot be transferred or shared between different accounts.

In addition, iOS and Android subscriptions are separate. A subscription purchased through the App Store cannot be used on Android, and a subscription purchased through Google Play cannot be used on iPhone or iPad.
