Installed at the venue. Watching needs a subscription; downloads unconfirmed.

Needs the maker's subscription

Look out for "Unverified – check against your app"

Steps with that label aren't confirmed in the maker's help, or depend on your app or firmware version. Check them on your own device, and follow the maker's help if anything differs.

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

  1. 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

  1. Step 1:

    How recording starts at the venue: unverified – see the maker's help

    Unverified – check against your app

    Squono hasn't been able to confirm these steps. Follow the maker's own instructions.

After the match: get your file out and upload it

  1. Step 1:

    Downloading the full match: unverified – see the maker's help

    Unverified – check against your app

  2. 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.

    Go to Upload →

  3. Step 3:

    Choose the team, then the match

    Pick the fixture the recording belongs to, so the video appears on the right match page.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
