Livestreaming and recording a match with the USF.Go

With “Livestream and record” the camera broadcasts the match live and uploads the recording while recording. Afterwards the recording appears in the dashboard automatically; you only need to fill in the teams.

For this the camera needs a 25 GB SIM card (see Inserting a SIM card in the USF.Go) and your club needs a streaming subscription. If your club doesn't have one, you won't see “Livestream and record”. Want to use it anyway? Email support@usf.sport.

Preparing

1. Fully charge the camera beforehand (see Charging the USF.Go)
2. Set up the tripod and switch on the camera (see Setting up the tripod and mounting the camera)
3. Open the USF.Go app via the dashboard or your personal camera link (see Opening the USF.Go app)
4. Wait until the camera icon at the top is green
5. Click the refresh icon on the image and check that the complete pitch and both goals are in view
6. Go through the Camera setup until “Camera setup (2/2)” is complete (see Camera setup: panorama and pitch calibration). You can no longer do this during the livestream
7. Click “Duration” and set how long the match lasts (see Setting the match duration)

Starting the livestream

8. Click “Start match” at kick-off
9. Switch on “Private match” if only people with access to the dashboard may watch. Leave it off for a public stream (see Recording privately or publicly with the USF.Go)
10. Choose “Livestream and record”
11. Check at the bottom of the app that the livestream is active and the recording is running

Watching along

12. Click the play icon on the image to watch the stream in the app. Close the player when you're done
13. During the stream, the match appears in the dashboard under “Live and upcoming recordings”. That's also where you share the live link (see Watching live and sharing the live link)

Stopping

14. The stream stops automatically after the set duration. Want to stop earlier? Click “Stop livestream”
15. Check that the recording has stopped and then pack up (see Taking down and packing up the tripod)

Afterwards

16. In the dashboard, go to the “Recorded” tab, click “Fill in teams” next to the match and fill in the home and away team (see Filling in teams after a livestream)
