Sometimes when the internet becomes unstable or drops in and out, you might see this when trying to Live Preview your venue. To fix this, simply click/tap on on Go Live for a second or so, then Stop (Don't go too long, otherwise your followers will get a notification.) This should get your preview video back live.

Many Little Leagues Organizations around the country play walk-up and inning break music through PA systems which is picked up by the Gamecast camera mics and broadcast. If the music used is copyrighted, most published music is, Twitch's algorithms will pick it and flag it to the streaming party by sending an email and highlighting the clip in question. Not to worry! Here's how to deal with this situation. VIDEO PRODUCER Once you stop streaming and Twitch detects copyrighted audio, it will not automatically publish the video. Navigate to the "Producer" section of your Twitch account. PUBLISH "MUTED" CLIP Click "Publish" on the clip that displays 'muted audio'. This will NOT result in a copyright violation. It will simply mute the copyrighted audio for your viewers. Gameplay audio will stay intact during playback. CLIP NOTICE Once you publish the clip and navigate back to your Channel, you'll see a notice like the one below on the clip you just published. Once message is closed the clip will simply display in red, the areas where Twitch detected copyright issues. That's it. Nothing else to worry about. NO STRIKES As you see, Twitch's 'muting' feature will not generate 'copyright strikes'. Without stating the obvious... just don't play copyrighted music if you don't want portions of clips to be muted. PRO TIP: There are many organizations that compile a library of 'cleared' music that is specifically composed to sound like major hits and common songs but don't result in muting. NOTE: The content of this tutorial might contain inaccurate information if Twitch updates its policies without Gamecast's knowledge.

(unplug, wait a minute and then plug in and reboot.
