Webcast Feature 19
Section 5: Webcast Feature
Web-Sync users may use the Webcast feature to send live game information and statistics to the
Internet for fans and media to view. In order to use the Webcast feature, stats must be entered in
Play-by-play mode and Internet access at the venue is required.
Webcast may be used on the same computer used for Web-Sync, or on a different computer altogether.
Setup will vary slightly between the two options.
5.1 Webcast on Web-Sync Computer
Follow the steps below to set up the Webcast feature on the same computer that is used for
Web-Syncing.
Note: Games must be Web-Synced before they can be Webcasted.

Setting Webcast Links on Web-Sync Site
The Web-Sync site will not automatically display the link to Webcasts for games until the
game is opened. However, the links can be set to show up for all future games. This step is
entirely optional. Refer to Section 4.4 for more information.
