LIVE-STREAM YOUR LOCAL GAMES
Broadcast your team's game from one phone.
BenchStream puts your team's game on YouTube Live from one phone — so parents, grandparents and away fans can watch in crisp HD on their TV. Scoreboard, pro audio, automatic reconnects. No laptop required.
HOW IT WORKS
Three taps. You're live.
Sign in with Google
Pick the YouTube channel you want to stream to. BenchStream handles the OAuth — you don't need to touch a stream key.
Pick your broadcast and quality
Choose your resolution, toggle the scoreboard overlay, pick your sport thumbnail. Everything in one screen.
480p is free; 720p–4K and the scoreboard overlay are Pro.
Tap GO LIVE
BenchStream connects, waits for YouTube to confirm ingest, then puts you live. Control the scoreboard from the bench.
WHAT YOUR VIEWERS SEE
You control the scoreboard from the bench. Your audience sees it on YouTube.
Operator view (your phone)
Viewer output (YouTube / TV)
You control the scoreboard from the bench. Your audience sees it on YouTube — and can cast straight to the clubhouse TV.
FEATURES
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Real scoreboard overlay Pro
Home/Away score, minimal/broadcast/badge styles, position it anywhere on the frame. Tap +/– from the bench.
Up to 4K, when your phone can handle it Pro
Crisp on the big screen for parents, grandparents and away fans who can't be at the game. 480p free; 720p / 1080p / 4K with Pro.
Full camera control
OIS + EIS stabilisation, smooth pinch-to-zoom, exposure lock and manual EV adjustment — use your phone’s camera hardware, not a limited web view.
Arena-grade audio
Built-in mic calibration (“Listen to the room — 10 seconds”), wind reduction, auto-level, USB/Bluetooth mic support.
It survives the game
Automatic reconnect with exponential backoff. Streams keep running if you switch apps. Battery-optimisation guidance built in.
Built for cold hands
Dark mode only, big tappable targets, designed to be operated through gloves on a freezing rink.
YouTube or any RTMP destination
Default is YouTube Live; paste a manual RTMP or HLS key for Twitch, Restream, your school’s CDN, anything that takes ingest.
Switch cameras, flip the view
Front or back camera, one tap to switch. Switch camera mid-stream without dropping frames.
SUPPORTED SPORTS
Preset thumbnails for your game
QUALITY
Confidence under pressure
You're really live, not just maybe live.
Most apps show a preview and you have no idea if YouTube is actually receiving. BenchStream watches the YouTube ingest state and only lets you go live when YouTube confirms it has video. No guessing.
Dropped Wi-Fi? It comes back.
Five automatic reconnect attempts with exponential backoff. Clear messaging if the rink Wi-Fi gives up. You see “Reconnecting (2/5)” — not a spinning wheel of death.
Real error messages, in English.
When something goes wrong, you see “The destination rejected this stream key” — not a stack trace. Every error is specific enough to act on.
