We recommend running a test recording about three hours before kick-off, puck drop, tip-off, or any other game start. A short test recording of around 10-15 minutes should be enough to stress test your setup, verify that camera angles are correctly named, and that your controls are working as expected.

Schedule Your Gameday Recording
Once you've confirmed that everything is working as expected, you can go ahead and schedule the actual game recording. We recommend scheduling the recording to start 30 minutes before official game time.
Depending on how your account is set up, you can schedule your gameday recording via a classic leagues or via a competition. If you are unsure which one to use, please contact your customer success manager.

Schedule via Spiideo Competitions
Depending on your scene configuration and how your competition is set up, you can schedule a recording into an existing fixture or to a new fixture. Scheduling a fixture can only be done if you have an available scene in Spiideo consisting of either Spiideo cameras, external sources, or both.
To an Existing Fixture
Option 1: Click '+New' followed by 'New recording'.
