What is DoggedIt Live?
DoggedIt Live is a simple, polished live streaming app made by a pool player and his cousin who thought:

"Why don't pool players have an easy, professional streaming setup on their phone?"

So we built one.

DoggedIt Live helps you stream your matches with:
  • Clean scoreboards
  • Player names
  • Professional overlays
  • Remote scoring
  • Local recording
  • YouTube & Facebook streaming
  • Easy sharing
No big rigs. No laptops. Just your phone doing magic.
Do I need additional Facebook setup after signing in?
Yes — one time only.

Facebook defaults livestream visibility to "Only Me" for new integrations.

If you want your stream to be public, you must:

1. Go to Facebook → Settings & Privacy
2. Business Integrations
3. Find DoggedIt Live
4. Change visibility from Only Me → Public

Done once → works forever (unless permissions are removed).
Anything special needed for YouTube Live?
Yes — your YouTube account must be enabled for livestreaming.

If it's your first time:
  • YouTube may take up to 24 hours to activate livestreaming
  • After activation, DoggedIt Live can automatically create broadcasts for you
  • Once approved, you're good to go.
What upload speed do I need?
We recommend:
  • 5 Mbps upload
This is DoggedIt Live's default quality and works great for most players.

If you have strong WiFi:
  • Switch to Better Quality in settings for sharper video.
If your WiFi is weak:
  • Switch to Low Quality Mode for a smoother stream.
Can I record on-device only (no livestream)?
Absolutely!

Device-Only Mode lets you:
  • Record your entire match locally
  • Avoid internet issues entirely
  • Upload anywhere later
Tournament directors and content creators love this mode.
What scoring options do I get?
DoggedIt Live supports multiple scoring methods:

Game Controller
  • Use a wireless controller like 8BitDo. Fastest way to update scores.
On-Screen Buttons
  • Tap + / – buttons in the app.
Remote Scoring Link
  • Share a link so a friend, tournament director, or scorekeeper can update the score from their own device.
  • Your stream updates instantly.
What scoreboard designs are available?
We offer several clean, modern scoreboard styles with preset color themes.

No complicated setup — just pick a design and your stream instantly looks professional.

And we're constantly exploring new designs, so feedback is always welcome — good or bad!
Does DoggedIt Live support AI features?
Yes!

AI Visual Commentary (optional) helps with:
  • Smart visuals
  • Cool animations
  • Ball overlays
  • Future advanced AI features
Use it if you want extra flair — toggle it anytime.
Can I add my own logo or sponsor logos?
Absolutely.

You can show:
  • Your personal logo
  • Team logo
  • Tournament sponsors
They appear cleanly and are easy to turn on/off.
Is DoggedIt Live free?
Right now — yes, completely free.

As we keep adding new features (AI, servers, more scoreboards, analytics), there may be optional paid upgrades down the road so we can cover costs.

But the goal is always to keep core livestreaming accessible and fair.

Remember — it's just two cousins trying to make pool streaming better.
Do I need camera/mic permissions?
Yes — the app needs:
  • Camera to show the table
  • Microphone to capture match audio
We never upload anything unless you choose to.
Can I stream on cellular data?
Yes!

Just check:
  • Upload speed ≥ 5 Mbps for default quality
  • Switch to Low Quality if signal is weaker
  • Sometimes 5G is even better than public WiFi.
How do I get my livestream link to share?
As soon as you go live:
  • DoggedIt Live automatically fetches your watch link
  • Tap the Share button
  • Send it anywhere (Messenger, SMS, WhatsApp, etc.)
Super quick.
