Highlight settings MUST be configured before your first stream or highlights won't capture. Navigate to Multimedia > Highlights > Settings tab to configure which match events trigger highlights, how much video before and after each event to capture, and whether to automatically publish highlights to social media. This configuration applies at the competition level - each competition can have its own highlight settings with different events, lead/lag times, and pre/post-roll videos.

​

Before you configure highlight settings, make sure the following are in place: a competition must be created in Assets before you can configure highlight settings for it; Stream Settings must be enabled for highlight capture (covered in Stream Settings documentation); match events must be logged during the stream (via the LiveScore app or an external data feed); and the live stream must be actively broadcasting.

​

To set up highlight capture for a competition, start by navigating to Multimedia > Highlights, then click the Settings tab. Click the competition dropdown and select your competition, then click Add Event and select the match event type you want to capture, such as a goal, penalty, or card.

​

Next, set the Lead seconds, which is the amount of video captured before the event (the default is 15 seconds), and the Lag seconds, which is the amount of video captured after the event (also 15 seconds by default). Optionally, you can select a pre-roll video that plays before the highlight and a post-roll video that plays after it - note that only videos can be used for these, not images. You can also, optionally, toggle on Auto-Publish if you want highlights posted immediately to social media. Once everything is set, click Save at the bottom of the screen to apply your changes.

​

You can configure highlights for multiple event types in the same competition by repeating the Add Event steps above for each event type you want to capture. To remove an event, click the three-dot menu next to it and select Remove.

​

Lead refers to the seconds of video captured BEFORE the match event, while Lag refers to the seconds of video captured AFTER it; both default to 15 seconds each. For example, a goal scored at 23:45 with a 15-second lead and lag would capture video from 23:30 to 24:00.

​

Pre-roll and post-roll are optional videos that play before and after the highlight. Only videos can be used - images are not supported for pre-roll or post-roll in highlight settings. Videos must be uploaded to Multimedia > Videos before they can be selected in highlight settings.

​

When Auto-Publish is toggled on, highlights automatically post to connected social media accounts the moment they finish rendering. Social media accounts must be connected in Profile > Connections before auto-publish will work.

​

Each competition can have its own highlight settings, so you can configure different events, lead/lag times, and pre/post-roll videos for different competitions. Select the competition from the dropdown at the top of the Settings tab to view or modify that competition's highlight configuration.

​

If highlights aren't capturing during your stream, work through these checks in order.

​

1. Are Highlight Settings configured for this competition? Go to Multimedia > Highlights > Settings, verify the competition is selected, and verify events are added and saved.

​

2. Are Stream Settings enabled for highlight capture? Check the stream settings for this match and verify "Capture Highlights" is toggled on.

​

3. Are match events being logged? Check if someone is using the LiveScore app to log events, OR verify an external data feed is connected and working.

​

4. Is the stream actually live? Highlights only capture during active broadcasts.
