How to Use VAR Check During a Sports Live Stream

VAR Check helps review goals, fouls and other match situations during live sports coverage.

Before you begin

Use a compatible Live Now version and the Live Sports camera workflow. Turn on Save Video in Settings before starting the broadcast when the replay feature requires recorded footage.

How to use it

Before the match, enable Save Video and prepare a VAR Check overlay. During the stream, activate the VAR overlay, select the recorded moment, adjust playback, and present the review alongside the live match when supported.

Important notes

VAR Check is an aid to reviewing video; it does not automatically make refereeing decisions.
