Instant Replay allows you to quickly highlight an important moment during your broadcast and trigger it live to your audience. They are available regardless of the sport that you are broadcasting.
By default, there is a pre- and post-roll set to each replay, which depends on the sport that you are broadcasting. Pre-roll adds a few seconds leading up to an event, and post-roll adds a few seconds after it happens. These can be increased or decreased depending on your club's or organization's desire.
💡 Please note: To enable instant replay, you need to schedule your broadcast using the Advanced Production level. If you want to use Instant Replay with Multi-Angle, you need to schedule your broadcast using the Advanced Plus Production level.
A replay is displayed as a clean feed and has no graphics, scoreboard, commentary, or arena sound. The live commentary and arena sound will still be included on the broadcast.
