Set Up a Live Stream
Follow the numbered steps. Click any picture to see it bigger.
Stream a match live into FL-UX, so your staff can watch and tag it while it’s being played. You can stream from a camera connected to a computer, or straight from a smartphone. Live broadcast is part of FL-UX Elite.
Live Stream with a Camera
You’ll need a laptop, your camera, a cable to connect them, and the free OBS Studio software.
Click the + button and create a match or a practice.
Click the … on the match or practice you just created and select Broadcast.
Click OK and wait until the broadcast is ready. This can take up to about 90 seconds.
When the broadcast is ready, FL-UX shows a Broadcast URL and a Stream key. Keep this screen open: you’ll copy both into OBS in the next step.
Open OBS Studio. If you don’t have it yet, download it for free from obsproject.com.
- Go to Settings (or Preferences) › Stream.
- Choose Custom as the service.
- Paste the Broadcast URL from FL-UX into Server.
- Paste the Stream key from FL-UX into Stream Key.
- Click OK.
For the best picture and a steady stream, see Stream with OBS Studio.
Connect your camera to the laptop with an HDMI or USB cable, depending on your camera. In OBS, click + under Sources and select Video Capture Device.
Give the source a name, then pick your camera from the menu next to Device. Set the Preset to match your camera. We recommend 1920×1080.
Click Start Streaming in the Controls section of OBS.
Log in to FL-UX on any device. If everything works, the match shows a green LIVE label in its top-right corner.
When the match is over, click End Broadcast in FL-UX. Don’t forget: a broadcast that keeps running keeps using your video upload time.
Live Stream with a Smartphone
In the FL-UX app, tap the + button and create a match or a practice.
Tap the … on the match or practice you just created and select Broadcast.
Tap OK and wait until the broadcast is ready (up to about 90 seconds). Here you can also choose the picture quality and whether to keep a copy of the video on your phone.
Tap Start Camera. The camera turns on and the screen rotates. Tap the red circle to start streaming.
When the match is over, tap the red square to stop streaming.
Add a Second Camera Angle
You can film the same match from a second phone, for example one behind the goal.
On the second phone, log in to FL-UX and tap the … on the match that’s live. Choose Broadcast, then Create a new angle.
Give the angle a name and wait until it’s ready (about 90 seconds). Then tap Start Camera. FL-UX keeps both angles in sync automatically.
While watching, use the camera icon on the right side of the screen to switch from one angle to the other.
