Renaming a Match Recording in LIGR Live lets you give each recording a clear, recognisable title so you can quickly find it later in your Multimedia library.
Overview
When a match finishes streaming, LIGR Live automatically saves a Match Recording in the Multimedia tab. By default, recordings are named based on the match itself, but you can rename them to something more descriptive — for example, to highlight a key fixture, a round number, or a specific broadcast version.
This guide covers how to rename a Match Recording from within the Multimedia section.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
• A completed match with a saved Match Recording
• Access to the Multimedia tab in your Organisation
• Permission to edit media (Owner, Admin, User or Media Viewer)

Choosing a Good Name
A clear name makes recordings easier to find later. Consider including:
• Competition name
• Round or matchday number
• Team names
• Date of the match
• Any special context (e.g. "Grand Final", "Semi-Final Replay")
Tips
• Keep names consistent across your Organisation so recordings sort neatly in the Match Recordings list.
• If you plan to share a recording externally, use a name that makes sense outside of LIGR Live.
• Renaming a Match Recording does not rename the original Match itself — the two are separate.
• Highlights and Compilations created from this recording will keep their own names, independent of the recording's name.
Common Issues
I can't edit the recording title Check your user role. Only Owners, Admins, and Users with media edit access can rename recordings. Media Viewers have view-only access.
The new name didn't save Make sure you saved or confirmed the change before leaving the page. Refresh the Match Recordings list to confirm the update appears.
I can't find the recording I want to rename Confirm the match has finished streaming and that a recording was successfully captured. Recordings only appear in the Match Recordings list once the stream has ended and processing is complete.
