With just a few taps, you can watch live videos of your favorite teams playing from within the GameChanger app.
Before viewing a Live Stream, it is important to understand that the team's Staff is able to control what audience level has access to the stream. Streams can be set to Players & Family Only or Anyone. Streams set to Players & Family Only will not be accessible to fans - fans would need to request team access to be able to view the stream.
Tapping the Record Video button will start a recording using your device. Please be sure you are tapping the video preview as shown in the screenshots below unless you are responsible for streaming the game.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you aren’t seeing a stream available then this may mean that the team Staff has not started streaming yet. Team Staff can also control audience access to the stream and choose whether or not to allow fans, so you may need to be a confirmed member (Family, Player, or Staff) to be able to access the live video. If you aren't sure if your team is allowing fans to watch the game, please reach out to a Staff member from your team.
Streaming video requires a strong internet connection for both the streamer and the viewer. If the quality of your stream goes down then it may mean that either you or the streamer has a weak connection.
This means that the Staff member streaming the game has stopped doing so. This could be due to the Staff member exiting the app or putting it in the background.
You can exit the stream at any time by hitting the X button in the top left corner of the stream. Doing so will take you back to the app’s home screen.
Premium subscribers can access the Full Event Videos feature to rewatch previously streamed games. You will see previously recorded games within the Video section as well as within the Event itself.
