Playbox Stream: Live Football

Stream your football games and tournaments live, straight from your phone.

Playbox Stream turns your Android phone into a live camera for the games you run on Playbox. Connect your account, pick a game and press Go live. The score, team names and match clock from Playbox appear on the video by themselves, so you do not need extra gear or a separate scoreboard app.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect. Scan the QR code or type the 6-digit code from Playbox (Settings, Connected Apps). It takes a few seconds.
2. Pick a game. Your live, today's and upcoming games are in one list. Choose the channel: the Playbox channel, your own YouTube channel or the organizer's channel.
3. Go live. Check the camera and press Go live. The live scoreboard is burned into the video and updates as goals go in.

WHAT YOU GET

- A live scoreboard on the video: score, team names and clock, updated during the game
- Choose who keeps the score: you or the referee, and the stream shows their score in your overlay style
- Customizable overlay: switch it on or off and set how it looks from the Overlay panel
- A between-games screen for breaks, so the stream never looks empty
- Players get their goals from the stream in Playbox
- Stream to the Playbox channel or to your own or the organizer's YouTube channel
- Save to phone: keep a copy of the stream on your phone, with the overlay in it
- Checks before you start: connection, free storage and battery, so you know the phone is ready
- The stream keeps running with the screen off, and you can end it any time from the app or the notification

WHO IT IS FOR

Playbox Stream is built for organizers and referees of football games and tournaments on Playbox. If you run pickup games, leagues or cups and want people to watch live, this is the simplest way to do it.

GOOD TO KNOW

- You need a Playbox account and a game created on Playbox (play-box.xyz).
- Camera and microphone: used only to stream your game.
- Notifications: show the stream status while it runs in the background and let you end it.
- Storage: used only to save the copy of your stream to your phone (Android 10 and newer saves it to your gallery, Movies/PlayboxStream).
- Streaming uses mobile data or Wi-Fi. A steady connection and a charged phone or a charger help a lot.

Create your games at play-box.xyz, then stream them with Playbox Stream.
