How to connect YouTube and plan your streams

If you stream your courts on YouTube, connect your organization’s channel once, then add each event’s streams with the game each one starts at. Dodgeball Hub links every game to its moment in its court’s stream, so visitors can watch a game from the event’s schedule, and writes a chapter per game into the video when the stream ends.

Before you start

• You need to be a manager of your organization to connect a channel. Anyone who can edit an event can plan its streams.
• Have the Google account that manages your YouTube channel at hand.

Steps

1. In your organization’s menu, open 내 단체 and click 정보 업데이트.

   

2. Under YouTube 채널 at the bottom of the page, click YouTube 채널 연결.

   

3. Google asks you to sign in, to choose the account if you have several, and to allow Dodgeball Hub access to your YouTube account, which it needs to read your streams and write their chapters. Google then brings you back here: the page says 채널이 연결되었습니다. and lists the channel.

   

4. Click 기본값으로 설정. The channel is marked 이벤트 기본값, and your events use it unless one chooses another.

   

5. Open your event’s planner and click 설정 at the bottom of the sidebar.

   

6. Open the 코트 tab.

   

7. YouTube 채널 shows the channel this event uses. 기관 기본값 follows your organization’s default; choose another of your channels if this event streams elsewhere.

   

8. Under 스트림, paste a court’s stream link in YouTube 동영상 링크. A scheduled stream’s link works before it goes live.

   

9. In 시작 경기, choose the first game the stream shows. The games are grouped by court.

   

10. Click 스트림 추가.

    

11. The stream is listed with its court and its status, 예정된 until it goes live. Add one for every court you stream.

    

How a stream plan works

• A stream covers its court from the game it starts at until the next stream on that court starts. If a court streams in several videos, such as one per day, add each one at its first game. A game joins its stream when it actually starts, so running late doesn’t matter.
• The channel and the streams save as soon as you change them; you don’t need 모든 설정 변경 사항 저장. Choose another game under a stream to move its start, or click 제거 to take it off the plan.
• Each stream’s line shows whether it’s 예정된, 라이브 or 종료됨, how many games it links, and whether its chapters were written. Dodgeball Hub checks the streams regularly around the event. Once one has gone live, 지금 스트림 동기화 appears at the top of the tab to check right away.
• On the event’s schedule, each court links to its stream for the day, and a game with a video offers 보기 (라이브 보기 while it’s on), starting the video where the game began.
• When a stream on the event’s channel ends, Dodgeball Hub writes a chapter for each game into the video’s description. To stop that, turn off 경기 챕터 작성 on the channel.

Look after your channel

• 연결 해제 removes the channel: no more chapters are written, and events that used it switch to your default channel, or to none. Streams you planned stay listed.
• If Google stops letting Dodgeball Hub in, the channel is marked 재연결 필요. Click 재연결 and sign in again.
