The Stream Monitor is where you start, watch and control the stream for a match. From its Destinations area you choose where the stream goes and start or stop each destination, even while you're live.
Before you start
The match needs a stream with at least one destination. Destinations are set in the stream settings window (CREATE STREAM SETTINGS or UPDATE STREAM SETTINGS), in the Destinations section. Choose a Stream Destinations Source (for example Specific destinations), then pick up to 4 Stream Destinations.
Open the Stream Monitor for the match's stream, for example the Harbour City (HCF) v Ridgeview (RVR) match in the LIGR Demo League.
Starting Destinations
Destinations only receive the stream once the stream itself is running. You can send your stream to several destinations at the same time.
On the Stream Monitor, click Start Stream. It takes about two and a half minutes to start up, then shows as live with how long it's been on air.
Check the Input card shows that the camera feed is coming in.
In Destinations, click Select destinations to choose where the stream goes.
Switch a destination on to send the stream to it, or click Start all to start every destination at once.
You can watch the program output in the Player. Use WebRTC for a fast preview or HLS for a stable one.
Stopping Destinations
You can stop one destination or all of them at once.
To stop one destination, switch it off. The other destinations keep broadcasting.
To stop every destination, click Stop all.
Clicking Stop Stream ends the stream itself, and stopping the stream stops its destinations too. You can start the stream again any time, then switch your destinations back on.
Managing Destinations While Live
Destinations can be added or removed while your stream is live, and you don't need to stop the stream to make these changes. Use Select destinations to change where the stream goes, then switch each destination on or off as needed.
Important: If a destination indicator is red, LIGR is successfully connected and streaming. When the indicator is red, troubleshooting should focus on the destination platform (YouTube receiving settings, correct event selection, visibility settings) rather than LIGR configuration.
Tips and common mistakes
Click Start Stream well before the match. It takes about two and a half minutes to start up, and your destinations can't receive anything until it's live.
Stop all and Stop Stream are different. Stop all stops the destinations only, while Stop Stream ends the stream and its destinations together.
If a destination isn't showing your feed, check the Input card first to confirm the camera feed is coming in.
Use the timeline along the bottom of the Stream Monitor to see when the stream and the input were live.
To change the saved destinations for the stream, open the three-dot menu and click Stream Settings. Update the Destinations section, then click Update.
