Livestream a Tennis Match from Your Phone
Film the match with your phone and stream it to YouTube or Facebook with the set score on the video. EasySportStream tracks tennis the same way it tracks volleyball: a score per set rather than a running total, with no clock to manage.

How it works
- Download the app. Get EasySportStream free from Google Play or the App Store.
- Create a match. Pick Tennis and enter the team names. The scoreboard is created for you.
- Go live. Choose YouTube or Facebook, choose who can watch, and tap record.
What the scoreboard tracks, and what it does not
Choose Tennis and the scoreboard starts in Sets mode: it keeps one number per set for each player or team, changed with + and - taps, the same as any set-scored sport in the app. Tap Next set to start a new one, or Previous set to step back.
It does not run tennis's own scoring rules. There is no automatic love-15-30-40 sequence, no deuce or advantage, and no tie-break logic - you decide what the number in each set means, most naturally the games won, and update it yourself as the set is played.
On screen for anyone watching
The score is drawn onto the video by the app, showing each finished set next to the one in progress for both players. Anyone watching on YouTube or Facebook, live or afterwards, can follow how the match reached its current set.
No clock, so nothing to switch on
Match play in tennis is not timed, so the app gives tennis a plain count-up clock and a single period by default and leaves the match clock off. There is nothing to configure here beyond deciding whether to switch the clock on at all.
Filming a tennis court from one end
A tennis court is long and narrow, so a single wide phone shot from behind the baseline or raised above one end usually covers the whole court better than a side-on view. Keep the frame wide enough that the ball stays in view on both the near and far baseline.
Matches can run for well over an hour, so plan for power the same way you would for a long volleyball match - the phone setup guide covers charging and mounting.

Frequently asked questions
Does EasySportStream score tennis points automatically?
No. It tracks one number per set, changed with + and - taps, and you decide what that number represents - typically games won. There is no automatic point sequence, deuce or tie-break.
How do I move on when a set is finished?
Tap Next set. The finished set stays on the scoreboard and a new set starts at 0-0. Tap Previous set if you moved on too soon.
Is there a match clock for tennis?
Tennis starts with the match clock off and set to a plain count-up with one period, since play is not timed. You can still switch it on if you want an elapsed-time reference.
Can someone else keep the tennis score while I film?
Yes, with EasySportStream PRO: remote scoring lets a second person update the set score from their own device. Without PRO, the person filming updates it in the app.
Can I keep the stream private to friends and family?
Yes. Choose Unlisted or Private on YouTube, or Private on Facebook, so only people you share the link with can watch.
