You run the race.
The stream runs itself.
A parent at the gate scans a QR code and you're live in under 60 seconds. Every family who can't make it watches in real time — no special equipment, no production crew, no experience needed.
For every family who can't make it to the track.
The grandparent who can't travel. The parent stuck at work. The sibling at another event across town. They follow along through text updates and shaky videos someone posted to a Facebook group. That's not the experience your community deserves.
Most tracks that want to stream their races get stuck because streaming sounds like it requires a production setup. It doesn't. A parent at the gate scans a QR code before the first moto and you're live. You run the race. The stream runs itself.
Three steps. Under 60 seconds. You're live.

Takes about a minute. Your watch page is created automatically — a private link ready to share with families before race day. No algorithm. No public feed. Just the link, sent directly to the people who belong there.

2A parent at the gate scans a QR code — they're your camera
Anyone already at the track scans a QR code and their phone becomes a live camera. No app to download, no training, nothing to configure. Point it at the start gate and leave it running. Add a second phone at the finish line and families get both angles.

3Tap Start Broadcasting — then run your race
You're live. Families anywhere open the link and watch the motos in real time. They switch between camera angles themselves — start gate, finish line, wherever the race is happening. When it ends, the replay is at the same link.
Finally settle who crossed first.
Finish line disputes are part of racing. With Switcher Now's multi-camera setup, you can put a dedicated phone right on the line — locked off, running the whole race independently from every other camera.
Families watching from home switch to that angle any time. After the race, the recording is there for anyone to review. It won't replace your finish line judge — but it gives everyone something to look at.
Each camera connects on its own signal. One phone losing connection doesn't affect the others. The race keeps streaming.
Simple answers to the questions we always get.
"We don't have a tech person."
You don't need one. Any parent already at the track scans a QR code before the first moto and their phone is a live camera. There's nothing to manage during the race. The stream runs on its own.
"We tried streaming before and it was a disaster."
You probably used a production tool built for TV studios. Switcher Now is built for race day. It takes under 60 seconds to start, not an hour of setup. If the signal is there, you're live.
"We can't afford new equipment."
You already have everything you need. Any phone made in the last five years works as a camera. No cameras to buy, no cables to run, no software to install. Your first race is free with no credit card required.
Three things worth reading before you go live.
BMX tracks are often outdoors with variable cellular signal depending on position. A two-minute signal check at the start gate and finish line before racing starts removes the one variable you can't fix mid-moto.
A phone propped against something at the start gate or clamped to a fence gives families watching from home a steady view for every moto — without anyone standing there holding it all day.
Your private watch link is ready before race day. Here's when to drop it in the club group chat, what to say so families know it's live, and why sending it the night before gets more people watching than race morning.
