Excited to live stream your match? CrikIT makes it simple to broadcast games without the hassle of complex setups. All you need is your mobile phone and a stable internet connection!

What You’ll Need

  1. A mobile phone with enough data to support live streaming (an unlimited data plan is ideal).
  2. Sufficient battery life (or a portable charger to keep your phone powered up).
  3. A tripod to hold your phone steady during the broadcast.
  4. Streamlabs app installed on your phone (based on our experience, Streamlabs is the best option for live streaming).

Step 1: Get Your Match-Specific Live Stream Overlay

To add a custom live stream overlay, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your league’s schedule page and find your match.
  2. Click on the “Match Page”link for your specific match.


    • If your match is already in progress, you’ll see a “Follow Live” link instead. You can still find the “Live Stream Overlay” link on that page.
  3. Copy the "Live Stream Overlay" hyperlink. We’ll need it later.

Step 2: Set Up Streamlabs for Streaming

Now, let’s configure Streamlabs:

  1. Learn the basics of using Streamlabs to live stream.
  2. Set up a custom “scene”for your stream following this guide:
    • Tip: For now, just include the camera source as the only layer.
    • Tip: Make sure your scene is set to landscape mode for the best viewing experience.
  3. On the scene edit page, add a new layer:
    • Go to “Custom Item” > “Add URL”.
    • Paste the “Live Stream Overlay” hyperlink you copied earlier and save it.
  4. Resize the overlayso it fits the screen perfectly in landscape mode.
    • Tip: Don’t forget to turn off screen orientation lock to avoid disruptions.

Step 3: Start Your Live Stream

You’re almost there! Just a few final steps:

  1. Turn off the chat option if it’s enabled (this is optional but can reduce distractions).
  2. Select the camera you want to use for streaming (refer to Streamlabs documentation for more details).
  3. When streaming to YouTube, create a new event with an appropriate title for your match.
  4. You’re ready to go live!

A Few Notes:

  • The graphic overlay will only appear once the match begins. If the match hasn’t started yet, you won’t see the overlay on your stream.
