- Stable connection — Use Wi-Fi or a strong cellular signal (5G/LTE recommended). Weak signal causes buffering for viewers
- Phone positioning — Find a good angle with a clear view of the field or court. Consider a tripod or phone mount for a steady shot
- Battery life — Streaming drains battery quickly. Keep your device plugged in or start with a full charge
- Test first — Do a quick 30-second test stream before the game starts to make sure video and audio are working
- Orientation — Hold your phone in landscape mode for the best viewing experience
