What it is
PlaySight SmartField cameras are installed at some venues. You don't bring a camera – the venue records.
Own subscription or cloud? A subscription is needed to watch.
What you need
A match at a PlaySight venue
Before match day
- Step 1:
Ask the venue how you'll get the video
Check your match will be recorded and whether you can download the full match as a file.
On match day
- Step 1:
How recording starts at the venue: unverified – see the maker's help
Unverified – check against your appSquono hasn't been able to confirm these steps. Follow the maker's own instructions.
After the match: get your file out and upload it
- Step 1:
Downloading the full match: unverified – see the maker's help
Unverified – check against your appWhether you can download a file hasn't been confirmed. Ask the venue or PlaySight.
- Step 2:
Open Upload in Squono
Use a computer or a phone on Wi-Fi. Big match files upload far more reliably on Wi-Fi than on mobile data.
- Step 3:
Choose the team, then the match
Pick the fixture the recording belongs to, so the video appears on the right match page.
- Step 4:
Choose the full match file
Under "What is it?" choose "Full match (one file)". MP4 or MOV works best. Keep the page open until the upload has finished.
- Step 5:
Wait for processing
Squono's video provider processes the file. Long matches can take a while. You can leave the page once the upload has finished.
- Step 6:
Review, then publish
When the video is ready for review, watch a little of it, check it's the right match, choose who can see it and publish. Nothing is published automatically.

Upload tips
Squono plays matches at up to 1080p
Uploading a 4K file is fine, but viewers will see it at up to 1080p in Squono.
HEVC and H.264 both work
Squono's video provider processes both. You don't need to convert files before uploading.
Very large files
Very large single files haven't all been tested yet. If an upload is refused for size, split the recording (for example by half) and upload each part to the same fixture.
Costs and clouds
Subscription to watch
Squono doesn't need the maker's plan to play your video
Once you've uploaded the file, Squono handles playback. You may still need the maker's plan to record and download.
Important
Keep your originals
Copy the untouched original file (and any goal clips you want to keep) to a computer or drive before deleting anything from the camera, the card or the maker's cloud. Squono's processed stream is not a backup of your original file.
