How to Record
Sports Games

A practical checklist for capturing great footage with live score overlays.

1. Set up your phone and angle

Choose a steady position with a clear view of the full court or field. A higher angle is usually best for tracking the action and keeping players in frame.

2. Choose your scoring mode

Record with a live score overlay for a broadcast look, or use Score‑Only Mode if you only need a scoreboard without video.

3. Add team names and colors

Customize team names so viewers can follow the action at a glance. Pick colors that match uniforms for quick recognition.

4. Keep scores updated

Update points, sets, or periods as the game progresses. The overlay stays clear without blocking the play.

5. Stream live when it matters

If you want remote viewers to watch in real time, stream to Twitch while recording. This keeps a local copy saved to Photos for easy sharing later.

6. Share highlights quickly

After the game, share clips directly from Photos. Keep a short highlight reel for players, parents, and coaches.
