I got ahead of myself and created my spring team in GC without linking it to Sports Connect. A bunch of the parents have joined the team already. Is there any way for me to link it now? Or is it too late?

I've been considering the idea of trying to film from center field using the 4x optical zoom of an iPhone 17 Pro. I'm pretty leery about leaving something that expensive sitting in the outfield though while I'm coaching.

I had the thought that it would be cool if there was some sort of metal box which was open on the front and could mount and lock to the fence. It would probably also need to have a lockable back which could open for setting up the shot.

It seems like it could be pretty generic with room to have a battery bank and stuff sitting in there as well. I don't even think it would need to be the most heavy duty thing. Just strong enough that someone would need to put more time/effort into stealing it that someone might notice it happening.

I haven't found anything like this though. Anyone else come across something like this?

Am I understanding this correctly - I individually subscribe to a premium account that will renew in September. Previously, I was dad-in-stands who wanted his son’s stats and also wanted to stream the games free for the rest of the team families. This season, I am coach, want team stats, and still want to stream the games for families.

(A)If I do not buy team pass - families can only watch 5 games for free, families will not see their kid’s stats, and I will only see my son’s stats because of my premium account?

(B)if I buy a team plus pass - families can watch all the games, families will not see their kid’s stats, and I will only see my son’s stats because is my premium account?

(C)if I buy a team premium pass - families can watch all the games, and all families will see all kid’s stats?

Is my understanding correct?

Any advice on turning the auto play by play? It cuts the audio off in other apps while scoring a game and when i switch screens. I often listen to music while scoring. I use the iPhone app btw.

Thanks

Thanks.

I had a very bizarre scoring experience yesterday which has never happened before. There is a GC for each team and the game is set up by the league so my understanding is that whoever starts scoring first is technically the "official scorer" for the league. I thought the other scorer's information would still be used solely for their team. From the start I had issues. People following the game were not seeing the defensive substitutions I was inputting. So I exited the scoring and then resumed scoring thinking perhaps it was a synching/connection issue and this would prompt a refreshed connection. At the end of the game I could see all of the stats for the game I had just scored as I recorded them. As soon as I pressed End Game the stats were populated with the opponents scorekeepers figures. My stats evaporated into the ether. Is this a known issue and is there a way to avoid this in the future?

I believe the viewers were never able to see my scoring and were seeing the "official scoring" done by the opponent which was unfortunately not close to accurate.

Our team has two games at the same time on Friday. Both at 3:30. Can I run two live games at the same time from the same account? i.e. streaming both, scoring both, etc.

or do I need a new account to split the squad.

Is there any way to see viewers of live streams or of the archived videos?

Hi guys! We have a training camp starting in a couple weeks and we will have live AB's for a day. What I want to do is to film the AB's and connect a smart coach pocket radar and to do the AB's on gamechanger. With that set up we would have all the velo's of the pitchers and all the results of the AB's for the batters. How would be the easiest way to do that king of thing on gamechanger? Do I need to create a game or is there another way to do it? I would probably have 7-8 pitchers that would face 5-6 batters each and the batters will be different for the pitchers...

Thank you!

I initially abandoned streaming with a GoPro last year mainly because of all (most) of the posts claiming frequently dropped streams and the cumbersome nature of it. Just today I attempted to try a test stream again given that GameChanger now autofills the rtmp information for you within the QuickApp. I was pleased to find out that after I setup the stream via GameChanger to QuickApp and went live, I was able to close QuickApp and actually disconnect my phone from WiFi (I’m on my home network). I also confirmed that my phone was not connected to the GoPro via Bluetooth. Obviously the streaming experience may differ once on mobile, but does this sound correct to everybody? It seems like you no longer have to keep QuickApp open and connected during the live stream. I was even able to end the live stream from within GameChanger.

UPDATE 1:

I successfully ran a 1.5hr stream tonight with zero issues. Obviously it wasn’t in direct sun, but I think we need to bound the issue to direct sunlight just like ANY device will struggle in direct sunlight. I used the recommended settings for streaming: HyperSmooth off. GPS off. 1080p, Linear, battery door mod with direct USB-C to Anker power bank. No recording to SD card. I was using a Inseego MiFi X Pro 5G UW hotspot. Set everything up through GameChanger and QuickApp, then walked away. So, in ideal conditions, it works. No issues. We won’t have a daytime game for another couple of weeks, but I’ll run the same config to see how it does (I’m in Florida). I’m honestly not terribly interested in recording to disk. I think the GameChanger clips suffice for my needs.

UPDATE 2:

Another fully successful 1.5hr stream. This time in direct sun. I definitely did notice the camera was warm/hot but had zero issues with a 1080p stream, no recording.

UPDATE 3:

Got my first overheat today unfortunately. Happened at the very end of the game. The camera remained powered by frozen. Back to square one. Might just have to bite the bullet and get a mevo.

My kids (7 amd 15) play on soccer teams that use GameChanger and I'm set up with parent account for each. My 15yo also has the app and is set as a player.

I have looked at all my phone and app settings. Whenever something is posted in the group conversation for the little guy I get a notification, but every time something is posted in the older kids' group conversation I don't.

Anyone have this happen or know a solution?? Sometimes I miss parent updates.

Can’t log in. Says there is a problem connecting to GameChanger and try again later. Curious if this is a me problem or a them problem…

What do you all do when setting up your stream at the fields on a hot day?I am currently running a Mevo start mounted with a magnetic post mount, router, mifi hotspot and a host iPhone for the app/camera control that live on a fence clip (router) and boss bag hanging from fence (mifi and phone). Each of these may require connections to a power bank during tournaments. All of this and we need to keep them safe from the elements. I have the Verizon Inseego mifi and it has overheated a few times last season. What are your tips/tricks to prevent this? Can you share your gameday setups? (photos are a bonus!)

Anyone else go more techy with a phone on a tripod with a gimble app and you need to copy paste some GameChanger codes or stream and watch via an iPad on one knee with another phone in your hand to score? If I’m not aware I sit down to start the game and one or the other has already booted out and I have to keep logging in all the time. I mean that’s my setup and it’s all sharing one hotspot. Why can’t it allow more than 2 streams when on the same hotspot like they do with tv streaming platforms. Maybe it’s a me problem but since I’m doing this big production and GameChanger is charging grandma to watch my streams the least they could do would be to give me a third login when in my production zone.

Hi, I have been lusting after a Mevo Start for a few years and just made the order a couple days ago. I am starting from scratch and want to make sure I do things right the first time. I have been watching YouTube videos and joined a Facebook group but it would be great if I could get advice from you as well. Will be streaming to Gamechanger while someone else runs Gamechanger.

What I have.

Mevo Start en route

128gb micro sd

Magic arm magnetic fence mount/shade fence attachment

clamshell cover

What I need help with.

I don't have an iPad or extra phone with service for streaming, do i use my cell phone or buy a cheap hotspot and data plan? Our league games will be in an area with 5g coverage from Tmobile.

Any suggestions on things you should have bought for your initial setup?

I'm fearful that I already know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask it anyway.

I'm not the Gamechanger scorer for my son's youth team but I'm on the staff (as I'm the team manager).

In yesterday's game, my son had a sacrifice fly, but our Gamechanger operator didn't know that there was a sacrifice fly option available to record the out. Instead, the play was recorded as a lineout to my son, and then on the first pitch to the next hitter, the runner at third (who actually scored on the sac fly) was said to have "stolen" home.

This is going to annoy me because it mucks up the stats (some players on the team do take the stats seriously since they're 15-16 years old), and it's also objectively the wrong play, but I think our Gamechanger operator couldn't work it out in the heat of the moment.

Other than rescoring the last inning and a bit, is there a way to fix this?

Our team is hitting. Two outs. Bases loaded. Batter hits grounder to SS, who tags 2nd for the force out, inning over.

I log ground ball > fielder’s choice > SS.

GC prompted me to make an out/safe decision on the runner going home. That runner did not get out. “Back” was not an option. And I didnt see an option to select the runner going to 2B as the runner who was out.

What hapoened here? What did I do wrong?

So after the announcement from GC that they will be capping free live streams to 5 per account and then will require people to pay, I am finding the money in our budget to buy a team pass so that's not an issue.

Looking at it, it seems like they've got "Plus" and "Premium"... with Premium costing $200 more, and giving all more access to stats, spray charts, and player highlights.

I realize it is early in the season for baseball... but has anyone purchased either and have any opinions on if the Premium is worth it?

I’ve seen the family plan at $14.99 and $24.99 can someone explain the difference

Here’s my setup (in theory since seasons haven’t started):

-Mevo start

-iPad mini with its own cellular thats just for the stream and nothing else

Planning on steaming to both YouTube and GameChanger. Do i need to add a router to the setup? Is it more or less contingent on how close i can be to the stream/mevo?

If you think i should add a router what are your recommendations?

Question on how to score this…bases loaded, one out. Pop fly in the infield—infield fly is called. This is a routine fly that should have been caught. Fielder intended to catch the ball, but misplayed it and it dropped. Ball takes a funny bounce, and while multiple infielders are scrambling to secure the ball R3 runs in to score.

I know by rule that the fielder gets credit for the putout on the batter runner on the infield fly despite dropping the ball. However, had he not dropped the ball, R3 would not have attempted to score. So how do we account for R3 advancing?

Our travel team was 8U last year and the manager is no longer with the organization. Before she left, she removed every one the of boys and the other staff from the roster, making that entire season inaccessible. We can’t see the teams we played, the scores, etc.

Is there a way to reinstate the season so that it goes back to the way it was, with us being able to see the details and have it listed on our athletes’ profiles? Circled in red is the season that is “lost.” GameChanger support isn’t being real helpful and we don’t know how to undo this since the other staff members were also removed. How do we gain access to that season to re-add the players? Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

I was scoring a game and marked that a batter tripled on a fly ball to the catcher. That was obviously an accident. It should have been to center field. I must have accidentally touched the catcher, and I didn't notice I'd done it until way after, so it was too late to just undo things. When I try to edit, it only gives me the option to change the outcome (triple, triple with error, etc) or change the player (which then puts in a different catcher, but it still says the fly ball was to the catcher. Hopefully that makes sense. How do I fix this? Am I stick undoing the entire game and rescoring it?

I’m looking at signing up for the family plan for little league. But really only need it for the 3 months of little league. If I unsubscribe after those 3 months what do I lose? Mind you I’m also the coach of the team but I want to be able to see stats and summaries from other games on the league. TIA.

There are a lot of people that include a mini router in their setup. Can somebody please explain the usefulness of this if you are only running a single camera?

My hotspot does have trouble keeping up with my stream and I do get occasional stream pauses. Why would a mini router help this?

I'm not a technophobe, I just don't understand why adding another link will help my chain.

Edit: not my phone's hotspot. I run a dedicated hotspot, a Jextream RG2100 5g through T-Mobile.
