FEATURES

Everything BenchStream can do.

No bloat, and nothing you have to pay for to get a working stream. Every feature exists because a coach, manager or parent needed it on game day.

SCOREBOARD

Pro

Home/Away score with minimal, broadcast, and badge styles. Position it anywhere on the frame. Tap +/− from the bench while the game is live. No second screen needed.

Available with BenchStream Pro.

SPONSORS & BRANDING

Let a local sponsor pay for Pro

Pro on air

Build a Sponsor Library and assemble break scenes on Free, without losing your work behind a paywall. Pro is only required when you put a sponsor scene on air. That gives clubs a simple way to turn a streaming cost into a sponsor-funded broadcast.

Free streams carry the BenchStream watermark. Pro can remove it and combine sponsor scenes with your custom thumbnails and club branding for a clean, professional output.

QUALITY

Up to 4K at 30fps

Pro

The whole point of streaming is the people who can't be at the game — the parent on a late shift, the grandparent three hours away, the students watching from a dorm. They cast it to their TV, and it should look like a real broadcast, not a blurry phone feed. 1080p and 4K keep faces and shirt numbers sharp on the big screen.

480p is free and fine for a quick check. 720p, 1080p, and 4K at 30fps — with adaptive bitrate that holds steady when the venue Wi-Fi wobbles — need BenchStream Pro.

AUDIO

Arena-grade audio

Built-in mic calibration: "Listen to the room — 10 seconds" and BenchStream sets a sensible level that leaves room for cheers and whistles without clipping. Wind reduction filter, auto-level smoothing, and support for USB and Bluetooth microphones.

INGEST

YouTube or any RTMP destination

Default is YouTube Live with full broadcast management. Need something else? Paste a manual RTMP or HLS ingest URL for Twitch, Restream, your school's CDN — anything that takes ingest.

CAMERA

Full camera hardware access

BenchStream uses your phone's native camera pipeline — not a limited web view. That means you get real stabilisation, real zoom, and real exposure control while streaming.

OIS + EIS stabilisation

Smooth zoom
