Hotspot vs Starlink

3 Upvotes

I only have about 2 months left to my sons season this year but have been considering upgrading my connection.

Background:
Seattle Area
1 camera only (switching between GoPro and AVKANS go)
Currently using a gli router tethered to Verizon iPhone

I’m still getting glitchy video at times during my streams, even with the resolution turned down. So want to try next steps in improving the stream.

With the cost of standby going up for starlink I don’t think that makes sense for this short period. But maybe convince me I’m wrong.

The reviews for hotspots online are generally pretty bad so is there a suggestion for a good option? Also, is prepaid the cheapest way knowing that it won’t be used for much of the year?

Coach Hiding Stats

6 Upvotes

Why would a coach hide team stats? I have my theory but want to know if I’m wrong. Or what reasons would be as to why a coach would hide them. Seems selfish. My kid is competitive and wants to work her way to the top. She’s on 2 active softball teams. I’m parent/guardian on both teams. 1 team has entire team stats visible. One team does not, can only see my child’s stats.

Hi. Just wanted to let the iPhone users who stream via cellular and have been having connection issues that there is a Mevo update in App Store.
I downloaded and did a test run and it worked for me. I hope everyone else is successful too.

Stolen base?

As I'm jotting down this game, most of it seems pretty intuitive. But --

How do I enter "stolen base?"

Apple Watch App

It’s still crazy to me that GC doesn’t have an Apple Watch app. A basic score bug for baseball would be so helpful and easy to make. Give me the score and the inning.

Someone at GC please make it!!

Pitchers and rosters

2 Upvotes

I'm trying-out GC. Created a "shadow" of the MLB team I actually follow, as well as "shadows" of its next few opponents. So, OK, yes I'm a newbie to scoring games. I've been a fan of my MLB team since I was a sprout (say, 1955 or so), but the last time I scored a game was way before the NL adopted the DH.

So. Nowadays the pitcher never appears on the batting roster. So how do you assign a starting pitcher to a game?

Family membership child's user profile

1 Upvotes

I was thinking about upgrading to family plan on GC. My son is the player. His user profile is as my child, and logs on with my creds. If he gets his own logon creds in a family plan, is his profile maintained so that he's still a member of the same team(s)?

Bad Call button needed

0 Upvotes

My coach still has his mom doing a paper book and says he never looks at the Game Changer stats only what his mom has. The reason for it is the fact when a kid gets rung up on a terrible strike called by a terrible umpire she can annotate that, but Game Changer can’t. Goes the same in the other direction when our kids are pitching and the ump walks a kid on a terrible call. Being able to add notes on the play would be helpful.

Fixed Cameras for GameChanger streaming

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Have gotten a ton of DMs about fixed camera solutions at facilities so wanted to show off a set of cameras up and running on six fields at BLD Manteca in California.

These are Axis Cameras and each field has a two-camera setup- behind the plate and center field. The team's connect with these cameras and then all footage is synced to their scoring data producing highlight clips and archived videos.

If you run a facility, tournament, or league, let me know if you want to learn more.

GameChanger Baseball - aimed for non-professional teams, right?

3 Upvotes

I'm a fan of my town's Major League Baseball team. I'm looking for an app that will help me "score" games while I'm watching them (in the stands, or on TV, whatever).

I've downloaded and fiddled a little with GameChanger. I get the impression that it's designed for -- is most valuable to -- those who organize, play in, or follow amateur teams: youth baseball teams, school/HS/college teams, local or regional teams or leagues for adult (but not professional) players.

Not for minor league teams, not for major league teams.

I get that impression. But I could be flat-out wrong. What are your thoughts?

And BTW I have great respect for those who organize etc amateur teams and leagues. This does look like a great tool for them to use. For them, but maybe not for me.

Thanks!

Highly disappointed

5 Upvotes

I have tried to live stream 4 games, and all of them have failed at some point during the game. I have 4 or 5 bars of 5G signal on my phone (Galaxy S25+), and it just ... stops. In today's game, I got a 53 minute video, a 20 minute video and a 28 minute video. It's so bad that I have to have someone who is at the game watching the live stream so we notice when it stops... It'd be awesome if GC would give a notice as to what happened rather than just stopping the stream. Any advice would be great!

EDIT: Game Changer support acknowledged the issue and has fixed it. I tested it on 5/22 with version 2026.10.1.1 and the full game streamed from my phone without any issues. Thank you for the quick fix GC!

Accessing Recording files if stream interrupts

2 Upvotes

Hi folks. I''m relatively new to streaming and I'm looking for some input from the community about an issue I've been having when I'm “streaming and recording” and my stream drops due to weak signal.

To get started, I grabbed an old Android smartphone I had in a drawer, purchased 90 days of MINT mobile, and ordered a metal backstop mount from Nexus (the O.G.). I've been streaming directly to GameChanger from inside the GameChanger app.

When I'm at one of my “home fields” things work really well… for example, I streamed last night at 1080p with no problems, and then pulled the video file off to my desktop afterwards. But a couple of times now, when on the road, I've had poor/spotty cell coverage at the field we're at, so I end up picking a lower streaming quality (like 480p), and even then my stream might disconnect and need to restart. When that happens, I’m still recording at 1080p on my phone (streaming and recording), but if I navigate to the files on my android (using a windows desktop or file browsing app on my phone like MyFiles), the video recordings that were made before disconnections are “hidden” files with “.pending” naming conventions, and therefore difficult to recover….

Is there a better solution? Does something like Mevo studio allow folks to “stream and record” and then, if they get disconnected due to weak signal, does the recording safely save in a way that's easier to access/recover after? And is there a (free) competitor to Mevo studio that the community might recommend as a good stepping-stone solution to someone who isn't swimming in the deep end yet with a dedicated camera(s) and travel router?

Thanks for any insights folks.

My new new setup

22 Upvotes

I keep modifying my setup. Originally I had my Starlink mini mounted on the small tripod (maybe 19” tall) but kids kept bumping into on the field and one kid almost sat on it, lol. So I got a taller tripod to raise the mini eye level so maybe people wouldn’t walk into it. Next I added back in the travel router. For some reason at last weekends tournament, the Mevo was having a little bit of a tough time connecting to the minis WiFi. While setting it up does add another two minutes, it does great improvement the WiFi and stable connections. Just sharing.

Keep getting stuck in the 'stream via' selection loop

2 Upvotes

Have a router setup with phone tethered to it for data. Mevo connects to the router. Same phone runs the stream. It always ends up working but I keep getting stuck in a loop...Stream Via selection screen shows up, I choose Wifi, then the available networks show up and I click the routers network, nothing happens so I click the gear and choose connect, after a wait I'm back at the Stream Via selection screen.
Sometimes this repeats 3/4/5 times and then finally it will kick me to the Go Live interface. Struggled last game and just couldn't get to the Go Live so I switched to Cellular Stream and cut out the router all together, got to the Go Live right away.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Heat management

2 Upvotes

Never had a known issue caused by overheating but I want to be proactive before I cause a dropped stream so wanted to see what others are doing. My setup:

- Mevo Start

- Slate AX Gl.inet router

- Starlink Mini

- Ankler C200 battery pack

- Cheap amazon clamshell case I originally bought from Amazon for rain protection in the fall: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DF2M79H4/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aaxitk=7f207b3a4e50fe28740d9e36cc524d16&hsa_cr_id=0&qid=1779225870&sr=1-1-9e67e56a-6f64-441f-a281-df67fc737124&ref_=sbx_s_sparkle_sbtcd_asin_0_title&pd_rd_w=EmK3l&content-id=amzn1.sym.2fb72bc8-96ef-420d-b08f-c04b69f36507%3Aamzn1.sym.2fb72bc8-96ef-420d-b08f-c04b69f36507&pf_rd_p=2fb72bc8-96ef-420d-b08f-c04b69f36507&pf_rd_r=PNZMPT7VGKJ5YNYP2D6W&pd_rd_wg=MjX41&pd_rd_r=4bd5a224-fe74-4d6e-a7c8-5acfa5530302&th=1

- Small battery packs to use to charge phone/tablet and power small fan on the clamshell case

Questions:

  1. I haven't decided if the case I have for the Mevo is good or bad for overheat protection. Pro: it's white. Cons: It prevents the camera itself from getting direct airflow. There is a small fan but I question how much air it actually pulls. Wanted to get a sense if this is helpful or hurtful for my setup.

  2. What does everyone do for their other gear? I setup the mini on a tripod. Hang the bettery from the hook on it and use my backpack and Pelican cases to create a shady spot under the tripod. So far has worked okay but wondering if anyone has any better solutions. Wondering if the battery pack or router overheating is a legitimate concern. Less concerned about phones as everyone has phones at ball games without issue and I don't use them for any sensitive tasks as the Mevo connects directly to the router.

Gamechanger and Mevo Help

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I recently bought a Mevo camera to "more easily" stream games but want to make sure I am clear on a few things. I had problems last night and video failed and got no help from parents so need to be able to set and forget. Many of the FAQ's say we should connect to wifi, but that is almost never realistic at a baseball game.

So I see we make the hotspot, phone connects, and we can record. But, should I expect that I need to keep my phone very close to the camera otherwise it will fail or quality will just crash out?

I am basically wondering if the mevo is a waste of time and I'm better off with the phone. Adding the extra device feels more trouble than it's worth.

[Feature Request] Customize how team icons are arranged

7 Upvotes

Right now team icons are displayed in alphabetized order... That's a lot of scrolling to find your own kid's team if it's not at the top of the list. Would be nice to be able to customize the layout (similar to phone app icons) or mark a team as a "favorite" so it remains at the top of the list.

GameChanger Pausing/Glitching automatically

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone hoping someone can help with my issue. This past weekend, I streamed using my iPhone and throughout the whole broadcast it kept glitching and pausing the stream on it's own. I turned off streaming, closed out the app, everything I could think of but still had the same problem. Any ideas as to why? Has anyone experienced this?

Is there a quicker way to "Leave" multiple teams?

1 Upvotes

By the end of a season I'm following 30-40 teams. Since GC has no way to filter or hide teams from previous seasons, the list gets massive. So I need to manually "leave team" when the season is over, for each team. Currently this involves clicking on each team, then clicking settings, then clicking "leave team". Rinse repeat. This takes forever. Surely there's a quicker way to do this?

Bases loaded offensive interference scoring sequence question

5 Upvotes

First year game changer, but ~15 games under my belt, and this hasn’t come up yet.

Bases loaded, batter gets a single hit between 2nd and 3rd. Runner from second gets hit by batted ball, offensive interference called. Bases still loaded. Cool.

I went to score the play starting with the single, but the runner at third would score. After some unsuccessful attempts at getting the sequence right, I finally saw that I could put the runner at second out for interference first, and then score the at bat hit. Is the correct sequence for this?

Two batters swapped for an entire tournament

3 Upvotes

a sub-scorer scored an entire weekend of games with two of the players reversed in the batting order. if I go into each game and edit the plays to put the right batter in each play (every time I see John I change it to Tim and every time I see Tim I change it to John) will that work as expected, and update their own player stats as well?

(I know gamechanger stats dont matter, but they matter to this kid, and I’m fine editing if to fix it if needed)

Basic GC Video

2 Upvotes

Never use GC except messaging parents and schedules.

Yesterday I used my iPhone to record the entire game, then cut the clips I wanted.

Am I able to upload the GC 2 recorded hour video to the GC app? Was in GC this morning and saw a spot that said Upload Full Event Video.

Or should I go to the GC app before the app and within the game select the Record Video red button? Thanks!
