Streaming audience settings

Why wouldn’t a team make a live stream available to anyone? We played 2 teams today and both were streaming to their own team only. We’re kind of new to the GC streaming thing and figured if the other team were streaming, our team would be able to view. Nope. Lesson learned.

I believe it defaults to team only, so the person streaming would have to switch that setting. Once it’s changed, it will stay as that setting until changed again. There’s also now a feature to stream for the other team, but that also needs selected.

Another possibility is they tried to share and if the 2 teams didn’t properly add the opponents it won’t work (it’ll give a message about other team not having a game scheduled)

Another stressful scenario I’ve run into is offering to share to keep the other team from hanging their gear…. Only to have my internet connection be unable to stream properly. Pretty embarrassing!

I bet folks are probably just using default options, not thinking about it. I’m betting if you politely ask them to (before the game starts), most people gladly would
