A public spectator link lets anyone follow your game's live score in a browser, with no account and no app. The live video stays private to your team.
How do I share the live score?
- Open the game from Schedule.
- On the Game Day tab, find Share the live score on the Scoreboard card.
- Turn on Public spectator link. Only coaches can turn it on.
- Select Copy to copy the link, or Share via message to send it with your phone's share options. On a computer that cannot share, Share via message copies the link instead.
Turn on Public spectator link, then copy or share the link.
Share via message sends "Watch the game live on Football Play Card." followed by the link. While the link is on, anyone on your team who can see the Scoreboard card can copy or share it too.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do people see on the link?
- The game's title, both teams, the live score, the quarter and the clock, who has the ball, the timeouts and the score by quarter. The video is not public, live or saved: the page offers Log in to watch, and only your team can watch.
How do I stop sharing?
- Turn Public spectator link off. Anyone who opens the link afterwards sees Scoreboard unavailable. Turn it back on and the same link works again.
Can I share a game that repeats?
- Yes. Each game in a repeating series gets its own link. Open the date you want from Schedule, then turn on Public spectator link. If the switch is greyed out and says each game gets its own link, you opened the whole series. Go back to Schedule and pick one date.
Does the link need a plan?
- The coach who turns on Public spectator link needs State Champion or above. The people who open the link need no plan and no account.
