We've used both T-Mobile and Google Fi so far. They both have "unlimited" data but once we hit 50GB of usage on our plan they do throttle the speed down to 3G. We're upgrading our plan to 100GB to help avoid this, we talk more about it in our veo 2 review - soccerstripes.com/veo-camera-2-review-record-livestream/
Not at the moment. I know Veo is working on adding overlays to the feed. Other teams have requested this feature, you can go vote for it here - veo.nolt.io/56
Hi John, yes you can cast from Veo Live to a TV while the game is going on. This section of the review has links to videos on the casting details - soccerstripes.com/veo-camera-2-review-record-livestream/#veo-camera-livestream
Is this Veo camera solely for soccer? Or can you purchase the device and use it to record American football games as well? Is it possible to record high school games?
Hi, yes you can record American football as well. We definitely use it to record high school games. In some areas the high school stadiums have cameras already installed at the facility but not all do. Also good for when you're on the road at away fields.
Hi Jon, this shows you how I connect the camera to a hotspot, th-cam.com/video/usaMMJB2fzk/w-d-xo.html , some complexes have fast enough wi-fi that you can use that but I wouldn't rely on it. I bring my own hotspot
Hey Ben, your videos have been so helpful. I am doing my first official stream this weekend. Up until now I haven’t invited anyone to watch my test streams. I have the team subscription (30 email addresses). Does this mean that only 30 email addresses can log in to watch live? Or can any amount of account watch using the link I send?
Hi Andrew, glad it helps! you don't need to belong to a team in order to watch a livestream in Veo Live. So you can share the livestream link with as many friends and fans as you'd like, having them watch the stream doesn't impact the number of members that you can add or invite to your team. We offer some tips for handling fans and livestreaming in our Veo Rookie guide too - soccerstripes.com/product/veo-camera-guide-veo-rookie/
Hi Ben. I'm an analyst at a football club in Australia and we have our games live streamed on TH-cam and I sit on the bench with our coaching staff and watch the stream on TH-cam. But their angles aren't always great and they don't show goal kicks for example because they'd rather show a replay. We also use Veo 2 but up until now I haven't used the live stream capabilities. I just record the game as per normal and watch the game back on Veo later. My question is. If I started using the Livestream capabilities and I as an account holder got an email letting people know the Livestream is now active. Would I be able to click on my email notification on a MacBook and watch it on a MacBook on the sidelines in real time? Or is the Livestream only configured for a phone as you showed in this video. This would allow me to avoid TH-cam's live stream altogether which would be helpful. You said it's about a 2 min lag?
Hi Joel, I agree that would helpful but right now to watch the stream you need to open it in the Veo Live app. So that means an android or apple device. I imagine at some point you'll have RTMP options but right now its in the app
Hi Ben, I met a issue that the lastest version veo camera cannot streaming as I cannot find the start button after I fill all the data. I can only see the "ready" not the streaming.
The interface has been updated since this video was made, I should make a new one. Now to live stream you chose the Go Live option. Not sure if that helps? If you're not able to go live you can try the speed test to see if the connection is fast enough
Hi José, yes it does work for training as well. However, if you have multiple groups training on the same field, each with their own ball, it has to decide which ball to follow. So if you have multiple rondo squares going at once on the field the camera will likely shift back and forth between the groups to follow the motion of multiple balls.
Hi E, once you start the livestream in the Veo camera app you should be able to see your stream in Veo live. You can grab a link there to share with the families/fans of the team. The don't have to subscribe to your team/club in order to watch the livestream if they have the link
Did you create a team at app.veo.co ? You probably need to have one created to show up in the list. If you have a team created and it's not showing up that usually means it temporarily lost connectivity. Happened to me when my phone connect to my Veo 1 that was also there and recording.
In my experience once you hit the start recording button it doesn't stop recording until you either tap "Stop" in the app or power the camera down. In the beginning, if the livestream stopped the recording would also stop but the latest firmware update changed that behavior. Now if the stream drops due to network issues, the recording continues.
@@EasySportsVideo Where can I find out what the latest firmware version is for Veo 2? I have 1.3.1 but can't seem to get the updating to work as per Veo's instructions so hopefully this is because I already have the latest one?
I haven't ever tried it before but since it works for multiple field sports like rugby, american football, soccer, and lacrosse my guess is that it probably would do a decent job. Only way to know for sure is to try it out. We do rent out cameras to test but we haven't sent one to Australia yet. If we can get a few teams interested to make it worth the trip we could look at renting you one. I can also check our rental network, you can email me ben@easysportsvideo.com
Hi Ben, can you shed any light on why VEO says live streaming is ONLY AVAILABLE FOR FOOTBALL?? I dont see why it couldn't be used for any sport. I play Field Hockey and my team is interested in getting one so just want to know all the details beforehand, many thanks!
Hi Harry, we've used it to livestream soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. I've never used Veo to stream Field Hockey but we could try it out. We rent out the Veo camera to teams that want to test it out before getting one. If you know when you need it you can request one here - easysportsvideo.com/start
@@EasySportsVideo Ah thanks for confirming you've used it for other sports - I really don't see why it wouldn't work with Hockey. Unfortunately our winter season has ended so couldn't test it either way + they have a sale on at the moment which we are looking to take advantage of! thanks
Do you really need a subscription in order for this device to work? I was hoping recording to local storage and the AI tracking would still work without a subscription. AND, does it need an internet connection? I'm rural in the mountains, so it's unusual for us to have 4g/5g or other wifi with internet connectivity.
Hi Kenneth, you don't need an internet connection to start/stop recording. You connect to the camera with your phone to start and stop. If you're going to livestream you do need an internet connection but if you're in the rural mountains getting a steady/strong signal could be an issue. How many months out of the year does the team play soccer?
Hi Nick, there are a few options in this section of our Veo camera review - soccerstripes.com/veo-camera-2-review-record-livestream/#veo-camera-tripods Are you mostly driving or flying?
Ey Ben, me and my brother wanted to stream some amateur football games, it is possible to make a live streaming in Facebook? I'm writing you from mexico
Hey can you confirm that when the video is uploaded to Veo it is 180 degrees & not just the AI ball tracking. Just like the Veo 1 where you can look at the whole field.
Hi, yes there are two views like the veo 1. It still uses the same Veo editor on the back end. You can see the "follow" mode where it tracks the ball but you can also go into the mode where you can drag the screen and see anywhere 180 degrees.
@@EasySportsVideo Where is the "veo editor on the back end?" Just downloaded 2 games and it's just the midfield view or 180 view, no ball-tracking, zooming or anything. How do I turn on the AI for a better viewing experience?
@@angienesper2621 when you go into the game at app.veo.co you should see the follow mode view. It sounds like your games didn't process correctly. You can go to easysportsvideo.com/start and click on "Veo camera help request" to report it. You can select the "Recordings" category and submit the game details to ask them to reprocess it
There are a few options. You can use chromecast or you can use an HDMI mirroring cable, that's what I prefer since you don't have to rely on wi-fi that way. You can see the devices here - soccerstripes.com/veo-camera-2-review-record-livestream/#veo-camera-accessories
Hi Robbie, right now that's not an option but I know others have requested similar features. There is a place you can submit and vote for features - veo.nolt.io
You're not able to charge anyone to watch at the moment. I know there's a lot of interest in that ability. It sounds there will be some big architecture changes on the backend to allow that and it could happen eventually but it's nothing that can be added quickly from what I understand.
Hello Ben. This weekend we will live stream our match. We purchased an Internet SIM card from T-Mobile with unlimited data. T-Mobile advised that they are 4G LTE SIM cards but can convert to 5G if available. They also said that the internet unlimited data SIM card only works for tablets, but they are 50/50 if it works with devices like VEO. Worse case scenario we might have try live streaming with a parents SIM 4G card. Any other tips? Cheers
I would get to the field early to try it out. Make sure you put the card into the camera before you turn it on. If you see the left two green lights lit up once the camera starts up that means you have internet connection. If you have a separate hotspot device (or anyone on your team does) I'd bring that along as backup. This video shows you how to livestream off a hotspot - th-cam.com/video/usaMMJB2fzk/w-d-xo.html . I wouldn't tell anyone on the team that you're going to stream the first game. That way you don't have people texting you asking you for a link while you're trying to get it to work the first time. Hope it goes well!
Hello Ben. I tested it out today and it didn’t work. I got to the step of “Start Live Stream”. I have a feeling that the T-Mobile internet Unlimited data SIM card is only for tablets. I will have to call T-Mobile and switch from unlimited data to 30GB per month plan. Hope that does the trick
I tested the Veo using just the SIM card and unlimited data plan - it’s super weak but works for live streaming. It said the connection was slow, too slow to even run the speed test. I just bypassed it. The test was done at my house. Hopefully it’s just bad T-Mobile service in my area. Will try it at the game this weekend
I think it’s pretty dumb that you need an invite just to watch a stream. There should be an option to publicly stream a game. Publicly as in you should be able to just search it up on the search option, just like every other live streaming platform.
Hi Michael, you're not the only person who feels that way. It would definitely be easier if fans didn't need to be invited to watch a game. I think that feedback has found its way to the company so at some point I imagine it will change
@@EasySportsVideo That would be awesome. I think most teams would enjoy that as well because they want as many spectators as possible, especially at the lower leagues where they have trouble getting exposure. Thanks for the response!
Uploading over cellular shouldn't initiate without the user starting it. That's a huge amount of data and will eat up most wireless plans! Veo needs to change that!! Do we just turn the camera off then to avoid it? I'd rather not mess with the SIM card.
I haven't had a chance to use Trace myself so I'm afraid I don't have any personal experience to draw on. I'm hoping to be able to try one out soon so I can better answer questions like this : )
I think the first version of Trace might be what he's referring to but I know that Trace has shipped a new version thats much improved. I've never used it before but our last playoff game had the same match recorded with a trace ( you can see it in our shot th-cam.com/video/o_-zHFcfff0/w-d-xo.html ) and the team said the new version was an improvement.
Which cellular provider are you using? Will they throttle your data stream if you are live streaming a lot of games in a single month?

Hi! Is there any option to stream the game through Twitch or Facebook instead of VEO Live App?
Hi Randy, I haven't done it before but I've had some folks share how you can stream to TH-cam. I'll try it this weekend and let you know how it goes.
How do you use the promo code? I went to the website. Added items to the cart and it says “discount not available for this order.”
Hey Ben, how do you add clubs to the veo accountt for live stream? Not even my team shows up in the Veo2 App.
