For grounds, clubs and academies

Score it, stream it, share it from your own ground.

Cricket Ground Studio turns your phone or laptop into a small TV studio. Score every ball, show the live score on your video and go live on YouTube or Facebook with your own stream key. Use spare phones as extra cameras. Your matches stay on your device.

In testing

Ask for a test build How it works

  • No account needed
  • No OBS needed
  • Your own YouTube or Facebook key
  • Scoring and recording work without internet
Illustration: a phone on a tripod filming a night cricket match under floodlights.

Cricket Ground Studio is in testing. The Android phone app and the Windows laptop studio are test builds, and the iPhone, iPad and Mac app is in development.

Live in three steps

No extra software and no sign-in. Everything happens in the app.

  1. Add your stream key.

    Open Settings and paste your YouTube or Facebook stream key, or any rtmp:// or rtmps:// address. Pick 480p, 720p or 1080p to suit your internet.

  2. Set up your cameras.

    Film with the phone itself, or turn spare phones into cameras: on each one, tap "Use this phone as a camera" on the opening screen. They connect over Wi-Fi, a hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct or USB.

  3. Score and go live.

    Tap Go live and score each ball. The score on the video updates by itself, with your ground name, tournament and sponsors.

Going live needs an internet connection: mobile data, a hotspot or Wi-Fi. Everything else works at the ground without it.

Everything a match day needs

Ball-by-ball scoring that keeps up

Big keys for runs, extras and wickets, so the scorer never falls behind. Made a mistake? Undo it.

  • Wides, no balls, byes, leg byes and penalty runs
  • Bowled, caught, lbw, run out, stumped, hit wicket, retired and more
  • Undo, swap ends, change batter or bowler
  • Wagon wheel and a full scorecard you can share as text

A live stream that looks like TV

The score band sits on your video and updates with every ball. Stream straight from the app to YouTube, Facebook or your own RTMP server. You don't need OBS or a separate computer.

  • 50 score-overlay looks in the phone app
  • Sponsor cards and your tournament name on screen
  • 480p, 720p or 1080p from the phone
  • Record on the phone while you are live

More angles from phones you already have

Put an old phone behind the bowler's arm and another at square leg. The control phone or laptop switches between them.

  • Phones as cameras over Wi-Fi, a hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct or USB
  • RTSP and ONVIF IP cameras, and DroidCam
  • On Windows: USB and HDMI cameras too
Illustration: two phones on small tripods filming a cricket pitch from different angles.

Replays, slow motion and highlights

Show the big moment again while you are still live, slow it down, then cut highlights after the match.

  • Instant replay on air and slow motion
  • Video editor with music
  • On Windows: wicket replay with a batter card, reviews with the Edge Meter (the stump mic's sound shown beside the replay), and a separate highlights editor
  • On Windows: the recording made so far is kept if the program crashes

Hear the edge in a review

Put a mic at the stumps and use its sound when you show a replay, so you can listen for a touch of the bat while the picture plays.

  • In a review the live mics go quiet and only the chosen mic's sound of that ball plays, in step with the replay
  • In the Android phone app: an edge check draws that sound as a line, with a mark at the sharpest click
  • In the Windows laptop studio: the Edge Meter shows the stump mic's sound beside the replay, gold for a sharp bat tick and blue for a duller pad or body sound
  • In the Windows laptop studio: a clap test lines the stump mic up with each camera's picture, and two camera angles can sit side by side with the Edge Meter (the stump mic's sound) between them

Tournaments, teams and records in one place

Set up your event, add teams and players, and let the draw move winners up as results come in. When the match ends, the scorecard is ready to share.

  • Tournaments, events, teams and players
  • Knockout draws on the phone and the laptop studio
  • Records and player career records
  • A suggested man of the match on the laptop studio

Match posters in a minute

Pick a ready-made poster and the teams, date and ground fill in from your fixtures. Change any word, colour or logo, then send it to your WhatsApp groups.

  • Ready-made templates and a design editor
  • Export as an image or PDF
  • Photo editor with an on-device background remover (the photo never leaves the phone)
  • Posters for upcoming matches, results and more

A player card every player can share

Players fill in their own profile and get a Player ID made on the phone. They can share their card as a link or a QR code.

  • Player ID made on the phone. It stays the same while you keep the app's data (deleting your data or reinstalling gives a new ID)
  • Card shared as a link or QR code
  • The card never shows CNIC, phone number or date of birth
  • Under-13 profiles need a parent or guardian

Solid lines: the Android phone app and the Windows laptop studio. Dashed: Windows laptop studio only. The iPhone, iPad and Mac app is a quick scorer for now and does not connect cameras or screens.

Grow your setup

  1. One phone on a tripod

    Score, stream and record the whole match from a single Android phone.

    Needs: Android phone app

  2. Add more cameras

    Turn spare phones into cameras, or add RTSP or ONVIF IP cameras and DroidCam. The control phone or laptop switches between them.

    Needs: Android phone app or Windows laptop studio

  3. Run a full control room

    Move the control to a laptop: USB and HDMI cameras, a stump mic, and pages for the umpire, the commentator and scorers on their phones.

    Needs: Windows laptop studio

Works at the ground without internet

Many grounds have a weak signal or none. The apps are made for that: the phones and the laptop talk to each other over your own local connection.

Works with no internet

  • Ball-by-ball scoring and the scorecard
  • Recording on the phone or the laptop
  • Replays and slow motion
  • Making posters and player cards
  • Camera phones and IP cameras over Wi-Fi, a hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct or USB
  • The crowd scoreboard on the ground's Wi-Fi
  • The Windows licence check, done on the laptop

Needs internet

  • Going live on YouTube, Facebook or your RTMP server
  • Sending posters, scorecards or player cards to WhatsApp or another app (that app needs internet)
  • Checking for a Windows update, only when you press Check

For going live, use mobile data, a hotspot or Wi-Fi. On a weak signal, pick 480p.

Bigger match? Run it from a laptop

The Windows laptop studio is a control room for a serious tournament. Switch between cameras, put cards on screen with one click, and give every person at the ground their own screen.

  • Umpire

    A phone page showing the balls left in the over.

  • Commentator

    A commentator screen on a second monitor or a tablet, opened by QR code.

  • Crowd

    A big live scoreboard on any screen or browser on the ground's Wi-Fi.

  • Scorers

    Score from a phone's browser. No app needed on that phone.

  • Stump mic

    Ground sound from the stumps, lined up with the picture by a clap.

  • Crew

    A walkie-talkie between the laptop and the crew's phones.

Needs Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). A graphics chip with a video encoder is recommended. See System requirements below.

Made for the way local cricket is played

Night tournaments

Floodlit tape-ball and hard-ball events: one phone on a tripod, the live score on screen, and posters for every match day.

Clubs and leagues

Fixtures, teams and records kept together, knockout draws, and a scorecard ready the moment the match ends.

Schools and academies

Film practice matches from more than one angle, replay the moment in slow motion, and keep everything on your own device. Profiles for under-13 players need a parent or guardian.

No account. Your matches stay on your device.

Cricket Ground Studio has no sign-in and no cloud. In the Android phone app and the Windows studio, matches, players, stream keys and videos are kept on your phone or laptop and leave it only when you go live, share a file or send a player card yourself. The early iPhone and iPad app shows Google AdMob banners, so Google receives device and ad data there. The privacy policy explains this.

Questions and answers

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-in. On the phone, the email you pick at the start stays on the phone and is not checked or sent anywhere.

Do I need internet at the ground?

Only to go live. Scoring, recording, replays, posters and camera phones all work without internet. For streaming, use mobile data, a hotspot or Wi-Fi. Pick 480p when the signal is weak.

Can I stream to YouTube and Facebook?

Yes. Paste your own YouTube or Facebook stream key in Settings, or type any rtmp:// or rtmps:// address. The video goes straight from the app to that service.

Can I use several phones as cameras?

Yes. Install the app on each spare phone and tap "Use this phone as a camera" on the opening screen. No sign-in is needed. Connect them over the same Wi-Fi, a hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct or USB. The camera phones do not need internet: they talk to the control phone or laptop over that local connection.

Which cameras work?

The phone's own camera, other phones running the app, RTSP or ONVIF IP cameras, and DroidCam. The Windows studio can also use USB and HDMI cameras.

Can spectators see the live score?

Yes. The crowd scoreboard opens in any browser on the ground's Wi-Fi, so a TV, laptop or phone at the ground can show the score. Nobody needs the app to watch it.

Does my data leave my phone?

In the Android phone app and the Windows studio, only when you send it: your live video goes to the service you chose, and files, scorecards or player cards go to whoever you share them with. Quezlo runs no server that receives your matches, players or stream keys. The player-card page is a static page hosted on Netlify. The early iPhone and iPad app shows Google AdMob banners, so Google receives device and ad data; see the privacy policy.

Where are my matches stored, and how do I delete them?

On your phone or laptop. On the phone, tap "Delete all my data" in Settings (Organizer) or on your Profile (Player). On Windows, delete the data folder. The privacy policy explains how.

See: How to delete your data

How does the Windows licence work?

The Windows studio uses a licence key for your ground, checked on the laptop with no internet needed. A new laptop gets a 14-day trial with every feature. After that the app keeps working, but live video and recordings carry a small "Unlicensed copy" mark.

What happens if the laptop crashes mid-match?

On the Windows laptop studio, the recording made so far is kept, so you do not lose the match video up to that moment.

Is ball tracking or LBW available?

Not yet. Ball tracking and LBW are coming later and are not in the current versions.

How much does it cost?

Plans will be announced soon.

What to bring on match day

For the phone app

  • An Android phone with Android 7.0 or newer
  • A tripod or a stand to hold it steady
  • Spare Android phones, if you want more camera angles
