Videographers: Run a smooth live broadcast

0:00 — Check the broadcast deck
Videographer > Live

Welcome, videographers. Open your crew link and go to Live. Confirm the field and that O B S is connected. In Camera Feeds and Ingest, check which cameras are online. Preview a camera before trusting it for the broadcast.

0:18 — Connect and frame cameras
Live > Camera Feeds & Ingest

Check camera power, network, and framing. For a supported GoPro Labs camera, follow the on-screen Q R steps: save Wi-Fi, save the correct home or field address, then Start. Give it time to connect. Other cameras use the organizer's configured ingest setup.

0:39 — Choose shots deliberately
Live > OBS Scene Switcher

Check the scene switcher's mode. Hot Cut sends your selection directly to Program. Staged lets you select a shot before using Take; tapping the staged scene again can also take it live. Check the Program label to confirm what viewers are receiving.

0:56 — Verify where video goes
Live > Broadcast Stream & Health

Read the stream target before starting Stream, and review the confirmation. Depending on setup, the other output is labeled Fan Feed or Record. Read its status to know what it controls. Check the spectator page on another device to verify the actual picture and sound.

1:16 — Monitor and finish
Live > Health / STAR PLAY

Watch dropped frames and congestion during the game. If a camera drops, use a working angle and check its power and network. Star Play can mark a highlight while you work. At the end, coordinate with the crew, stop the intended outputs, and confirm their status before packing up.
