My understanding is that Team Manager (the successor to Game Changer) will not only allow you to score, administer the team (allowing you to get rid of Team Snap or like apps), but now also includes live streaming capability with integrated scoring. Can use the camera of your choice. Almost one stop shopping. Can the live-streamed videos be saved and/or downloaded?
What is it that Athletes Go Live offers that Team Manager does not and is there any thought that whatever that gap currently is that Team Manager will look to close it in the (near) future?
Thanks for any insights.
To answer the question of what AGL offers that Team Manager does not:
1) Only approved members can view the stream in Team Manager while college coaches just have to search for your team and can view the livestream along with parents/family/friends.
2) AGL archives game videos to allow players/parents to create highlight clips from recorded games and send them to coaches (I don't think Team Manager has added the ability to save livestreams yet).
3) To go along with #2, AGL offers the ability to contact college coaches directly from the app, plus follow colleges and coaches to get notifications on camps and other events.
4) AGL will notify players who are subscribed when college coaches watch a stream or archived game.
5) The ability to announce a game using a bluetooth mic (don't know if Team Manager has this)
The main benefits of Team Manager over AGL are:
1) It is free (AGL is free to stream but requires a subscription for friends/family to view. College coaches view for free).
2) Much better scoring thanks to having years of development.
3) Messaging with team in-app
Both allow you to stream from a phone/tablet. AGL is offering their own device, which is basically a ruggedized tablet. Neither work with a GoPro (which is fine because the GoPro sucks at streaming). AGL has said they are working on adding Mevo support.
