RECOMMENDATIONS:
We recommend one designated livestreamer or team manager also be an administrator of the Facebook group they will be streaming. Periodically, Facebook will revoke the access token for sidelineHD to stream to your group. You can establish a new token by unlinking and relinking Facebook on the sidelineHD.com/streaming tab. We’ll send text messages if your access token becomes expired.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANAGER #2 OR #3 INSTRUCTIONS IF THE CAMERA ALREADY EXISTS FOR THE TEAM:
Alternatively, if you or another manager has a camera is set up they can do the following to setup their own camera:
New Manager Setup (After Account is Created):
Since you (as the admin/manager 1) have a camera, we need to navigate the new managers to the streaming tab for a one-time camera setup, after it's in their phone/streaming device. It should stay.
1) Go to: sidelineHD.com/streaming tab and click to add camera.
2) Click on Use My Own Camera
3) Select the Device they wish to use to stream, Smartphone/Tablet, Mevo, GoPro
4) Follow the Prompts on the Screen to set up.
Note if using Smartphone or Tablet they will need to add the Larix Broadcaster App.
Also, prior to going live - you'll want to ensure the right camera is indicated as READY on the streaming tab for the team you plan to stream.
