To add a stream directly from the Matches table, start by navigating to the Matches section, clicking Matches in the left sidebar. Next, find the match you want to add a stream to, then click the three-dot Actions menu for that match and select ADD STREAM from the menu. This opens the stream configuration panel, where you can set up all the details for the new stream.

​

You can also add a stream from the expanded match view. Click Matches in the left sidebar, then find your match in the table and click the drop-down arrow to expand the match details. From the bulk actions section, click ADD STREAM. As with the table method, this opens the stream configuration panel.

​

Once the stream configuration panel is open, you'll need to work through a number of settings. If you like, you can start with a STREAM TEMPLATE (OPTIONAL): selecting a template created in Competition Settings will auto-fill all the settings below. Templates are pre-configured at the competition level and save time when creating multiple streams with similar configurations.

​

Next, give your stream a STREAM NAME - a descriptive name such as "Main Camera" or "Field View" - which helps you identify the stream when managing multiple streams for one match.

​

You must also select a STREAM INPUT from the dropdown. Inputs must be created in the Streaming tab before they appear here, and this step is critical: a stream cannot start without an input assigned, since this is the video feed coming into LIGR Live from your camera or streaming software.

​

For STREAM SIZE, choose your output resolution:

​

• 1080p

​

• 720p

​

Under DESTINATIONS, select up to 3 destinations where this stream will be sent. Destinations must be created in the Streaming tab first; common destinations include YouTube, Facebook, and custom RTMP/SRT endpoints.

​

If an overlay already exists for the match, you can assign it under OVERLAY. The overlay is the graphics package that displays on top of your stream - scoreboards, player names, statistics, and so on.

​

You can also upload an IDLE IMAGE to display when the stream is idle - before the match starts or after it ends.

​

Set the FRAMES PER SECOND for the stream output, which determines how many frames per second the stream will broadcast at, and set the VIDEO BITRATE, keeping in mind that a higher bitrate means better quality but requires more bandwidth.

​

For REGION, select the server region closest to your physical location for best performance.

​

Several audio and overlay behaviour options are also available. Under INPUT STREAM VOLUME, you can pre-configure the audio level for the incoming video feed. MIX INPUT AUDIO CHANNELS can be toggled on to mix left and right audio channels together, while MUTE INPUT AUDIO CHANNELS lets you mute the left or right audio channel if needed. Finally, START OVERLAY AS HIDDEN can be toggled on to prevent the overlay from appearing automatically when the stream starts - if enabled, you'll need to manually show graphics from the Control Room.

​

You can automate when your stream starts and stops using the Auto Stream settings. Use Stream Start to set the stream to start X minutes before the scheduled match time - for example, 5 or 10 minutes before kickoff. Use Go Live to set destinations to start sending X minutes before match time, which controls when your stream actually goes live to platforms like YouTube. Finally, use Stream Stop to set the stream to automatically stop X minutes after the match ends.

​

GENERATE HIGHLIGHTS must be toggled on if you want highlights created from match events - if this toggle is off, no highlights will be generated regardless of other settings. AUTO-PUBLISH HIGHLIGHTS can be toggled on to automatically publish highlights to connected social media accounts the moment they finish rendering. STORE MATCH RECORDING can be toggled on to archive a full recording of the stream; note that this is automatically enabled if Generate Highlights is toggled on.

​

After configuring all settings, click CREATE to create the stream. The stream is now added to your match and appears in the expanded match view with its configuration details visible.

​

The stream will not start automatically after creation - streams remain idle until explicitly started. You must either start the stream manually from the Stream View page or configure Auto Stream settings to start it automatically at the scheduled time.
