Livestreaming

How to livestream a game, and which cameras work

You do not need to buy a camera. The phone you already score on can stream the game in one tap. If you own something better, or want the phone free for scoring, here is what works and what each one needs.

Read this first

Every camera below marked “tested on hardware” is one somebody streamed a real game with. We do not call a camera supported because it speaks RTMP — everything speaks RTMP. For the rest, we tell you where the setting lives rather than quoting a menu path, because those paths move between models and firmware and a wrong one costs you the game.

That distinction cost us once. A QR code shipped for months that Larix silently ignored, because the format was assumed rather than checked and nobody on the team owned a Larix. It is a worse mistake to make here, where you might read it before buying hardware.

The cameras

CameraWhat you needConnecting
Your phone
Tested on hardware
Nothing. The phone you already scored the game on.
one tap
Open the game, tap the phone card, and it goes live. There is no key to type and no second app.
A second phone, with Larix Broadcaster
Tested on hardware
Any spare phone or tablet, plus Larix Broadcaster — a free app on iOS and Android.
one tap
On the same phone, tapping the Larix card opens Larix with the connection already in it. On a second phone, scan the code we show you.
Mevo
Tested on hardware
A Mevo camera and the Mevo app on your phone.
one tap
Tapping the Mevo card opens the Mevo app with this game already set up as a destination, named after the matchup so you can tell your games apart.
GoPro (Hero 11 and newer)
Menus vary by model
A GoPro that supports live streaming, and the GoPro Quik app on your phone.
paste a key
Tap the GoPro card and we show you a server URL and a stream key to paste into the GoPro app. Streaming is set up in the app on your phone, not on the camera itself.
OBS, a DJI camera, an iPad, or any other RTMP encoder
Tested on hardware
Any encoder that can push RTMP to a custom server.
paste a key
Tap the last card and we show a server URL and a stream key. Paste them wherever that software asks for a custom streaming destination.

The exact menus, per app

The app shows these to you when you pick a camera. They are here because this is where you look before you have the app open — usually while deciding whether the camera in your hand will work at all.

A second phone, with Larix Broadcaster
In Larix: Settings → Connections → Import Grove. Typed by hand it is one connection whose URL is the server and key joined by a slash — Larix has no separate key field.
Mevo
In the Mevo app: Settings → Destination → Custom RTMP. Mevo's QR scanner pairs with cameras and will not read a stream URL, so use the link or paste the two credentials.
GoPro (Hero 11 and newer)
In GoPro Quik: connect to the camera, choose live streaming, then the custom RTMP option. Menu wording varies by model and firmware.
OBS, a DJI camera, an iPad, or any other RTMP encoder
In OBS: Settings → Stream → Custom, which has two separate fields. DJI cameras are set up in the DJI Mimo app. An iPad cannot stream RTMP on its own — install Larix there and follow the Larix steps.

What it costs you

Three games are free to broadcast. The app tells you how many you have left while you are choosing a camera, not after you try to start one. After that, broadcast one game at a time for $4.99, or every game of the season on a Team or Pro plan — see pricing for what each plan includes.

Watching is never metered, on any plan. Families never pay to watch a game. What a plan covers is broadcasting, which is the part that costs us money.

Recording is separate and never metered. Every game screen can record to your own phone and upload afterwards. It uses none of your livestreams, so reaching the free limit does not mean losing the game — you still get the footage and the highlight clips.

Questions people ask before buying

Do I need a special camera to livestream a game?
No. The phone you are already scoring on can stream the game with one tap, and nothing else has to be bought or set up. A separate camera is worth it when you want the phone free for scoring, or a wider angle from behind the backstop.
Does DugoutOps work with a Mevo?
Yes, and it is one tap. Tapping the Mevo card opens the Mevo app with this game already set up as a destination, named after the matchup. This was tested on a real Mevo.
Does DugoutOps work with a GoPro?
A GoPro that supports live streaming will work: we give you a server URL and a stream key to paste into the GoPro app on your phone. We have not driven a GoPro's menus ourselves, so we describe where the setting lives rather than quoting a menu path that moves between models.
How many games can I livestream for free?
Three. The app shows how many you have left before you pick a camera, not after you try to start. Recording a game to your own phone is separate and is never metered — it uses none of your livestreams.
Do parents have to pay to watch?
No. Watching is never metered on any plan. What a plan covers is broadcasting.
Can I record a game without livestreaming it?
Yes. Every game screen has a record-to-this-phone option that uploads after the game. It does not use a livestream, and it works on every plan.

Start with the phone in your hand

The cheapest way to find out whether streaming is worth it to your families is to do it once, with no camera, on the phone you were going to score on anyway. Start free and stream your next game.
