Automating Live Streaming at Scale for Youth & High School Sports

The platform had to stream a huge number of youth and high school sports matches at the same time, often run by small teams or volunteers. Manually creating live events, starting and stopping streams, and managing paywalls for every match was not practical. They needed a system that could automatically handle live streaming, access control, and replays at scale—without constant human involvement.

Enveu built a fully automated live streaming workflow designed specifically for youth and high school sports. Instead of relying on manual setup, the platform could automatically ingest clubs, teams, and match schedules in one step. Live events were created in advance and started and stopped automatically based on match timings.

All live streams were protected behind a paywall by default, so access was controlled without extra effort. When a match finished, the live stream was instantly converted into a replay and made available on demand. This end-to-end automation allowed the platform to manage large volumes of live games at the same time while keeping day-to-day operations simple and reliable.

The platform was implemented with automation at its core. Club, team, and match data were connected through bulk csv upload so schedules could flow directly into the system without manual entry. Based on this data, live events were created automatically ahead of time.

As matches began, live streams started on their own and were published instantly to viewers. When matches ended, streams stopped automatically and were converted into replays without any manual processing. Access rules were applied by default, ensuring live and on-demand content remained behind the paywall.

The system was designed to handle more than 100 live streams running at the same time, even during peak match days, allowing the platform to operate at scale with minimal operational effort.

The platform was able to stream youth and high school sports at large scale without needing a large operations team. More than 100 live matches could run at the same time with stable performance and consistent access control.

Live games were instantly available as replays once they ended, giving viewers more ways to watch and catch up. Because everything was automated, the platform reduced manual work, avoided errors during busy match days, and created a reliable system that can easily scale to support more teams, matches, and regions in the future.
