How to add live commentary to a livestream
Use Booth: create an event for the game, paste the stream link, and call it live from your phone. Listeners watch the stream and hear your commentary together, with a live scoreboard you control.
Open Booth: it's freeHow it works
- Tap Create Event, then Call a live game, and enter the teams and start time.
- Paste the game's stream link (for example from YouTube, Twitch, Kick or Vimeo). Booth shows the stream on the event page.
- Go live and call the game. Keep the score and clock from your phone.
- Share the event link. Listeners open it in their browser and get the stream, your voice and the score in one place.
Why audio on top of a stream works
- Plenty of leagues, schools and gyms stream games with no commentary at all
- You don't need a camera, video software or streaming rights to add your call
- Every call is recorded, so you keep a copy afterwards
Calling a recorded game instead?
Tap Call a video and paste a YouTube, Vimeo or Twitch link. You run play, pause and skip, every listener's video follows yours, and you can pause and draw on the screen to break down a play.
