How to Go Live with the Same URL for Tournament Matches in Criconic
Criconic offers an advanced feature called "Live as Tournament", which allows users to use a single live streaming URL across all matches in a tournament. This is especially useful for league organizers, broadcasters, and streamers who want a seamless experience without changing URLs for every match. In this guide, we’ll explain how to use this feature effectively.
What is the "Live as Tournament" Feature?
Normally, Criconic generates a unique live score overlay URL for each match. However, if you're managing a tournament and want to keep the same streaming setup, enabling "Live as Tournament" ensures that all matches under the tournament share the same overlay URL. This means once you've set up the overlay in your streaming software, it will continue to display live scores for every match in the tournament without any extra steps.
