Channel setup #
Your channel is the home your fans visit to watch your sport. Before you schedule your first match, it is worth getting the basics right, so the channel looks like your club and behaves the way you expect. This guide covers the settings you configure once and rarely need to touch again.
You will find everything described here under Settings in the dashboard.
Before you start #
Before you start
- An admin account for your club's channel
- Your club's logo as an image file
- Your club's brand colours, if you have them
Set up your channel #
- ●
Open your channel settings
From the dashboard, go to Settings and open the General settings for your channel.
- ●
Add your channel identity
Enter your channel name and a short description. This is how your club is introduced to fans across the site and the apps.
- ●
Upload your branding
Add your logo and set your brand colours under the theme settings, so the channel carries your club's identity rather than a generic look.
- ●
Set your regional preferences
Choose your default language and time zone. The time zone matters most, as it decides how match times appear to you and to your fans.
- ●
Save and review
Save your changes, then open your public channel in a new tab to check it looks the way you want.
Settings to configure #
These are the main settings worth getting right at the start.
Channel name text required The name of your channel as fans see it. Usually your club's name, for example "Riverside FC TV".
Description text A short line introducing your channel. It helps new fans understand what they will find.
Logo image required Your club's crest or logo. Upload a clear, high-resolution image so it stays sharp on large screens.
Brand colours colour The colours used across your channel's theme. Match them to your club's identity for a consistent look.
Default language choice The language your channel uses by default for fans who have not chosen their own.
Time zone choice required The time zone your match times are shown in. Set this to your club's local time so scheduling is accurate.
Organising your content #
Two further settings help fans find their way around once you have a few matches and replays:
- Categories group your content into broad sections, for example "First team", "Academy" or "Highlights".
- Tags are labels you attach to individual streams and replays so fans can filter for exactly what they want.
You do not have to set these up before your first broadcast, but they become useful as your library grows. You can add and edit them at any time from your settings.
What comes next #
With your channel set up, you are ready to add the teams and competitions you stream, then decide how fans pay to watch. Those two steps prepare everything you need to schedule your first match.
