What happens if I get a phone call during the stream?

What happens to your stream when a call or another app interrupts it.

Life happens mid-game. Here's what Reeplayer does:

  • A call comes in, or another app grabs the camera: viewers see a "broadcast paused" screen instead of a frozen picture, and the stream picks back up when you return to Reeplayer.

  • You pop out of the app for a second: the stream keeps running in a small picture-in-picture window. Head back to Reeplayer when you can.

  • Low battery or a weak signal: the app adjusts to keep you live as long as it can.

Pro move: turn on Do Not Disturb before the first whistle, so the only thing interrupting the game is the ref.
