So we decided to describe our pre-release routine very simply in 3 steps
1. Arrive 30 minutes before the game.
It may seem obvious, but by definition, when you make a broadcast there is always something unexpected.
You can be sure of that! As much as a victory of Nadal at Roland Garros or a defeat in the 1st round of a grand slam of Benoit Paire. We can plan everything, the tripod, make a location on the spot, test the 4g flow, there will always be something that will put you a little stress 2 minutes before the live!
The group of supporters to come and stomp your feet where you put your tripod, or the socket that doesn't answer anymore...
Then you'll need those 30 minutes.
2. Choose the right angle for your sport
There is nothing special to know here, except that a minimum of height is very important, generally the stand is the easiest place to get up, although being ingenious can sometimes pay off!
In volleyball, for example, fixing the phone on a handball cage and controlling the match remotely is a good alternative! (see article: which angle to choose according to the sport)
3. Make a test on an adapted page
If you want to broadcast on Facebook, it's quite simple, just create a private page for this purpose. For Youtube, doing the same thing is still the easiest, if the live is good on Facebook, there will be no problem on Youtube.
It would be too stupid to do everything right and find out that the sound doesn't come through or that the flow is too low.
A test page where we start a live 10 minutes before, it always reassures.
Microphone test, light, flow everything must be controlled!
That's it for these little pre-game tips, which we hope will allow you to expand your audience but before leaving, we finish this article as usual with a sports quote:
"For me, I only knew team sports in my youth, that powerful feeling of hope and solidarity that accompanies the long days of training until the day of the match, whether won or lost. Really, the little morality I know, I learned it on the soccer fields and the theater stages which will remain my true universities." Albert Camus
