Fan Cam Explained
What Is a Fan Cam?
A fan cam lets sports fans take a selfie on their phone and appear on the stadium big screen, no app, no crew, no hardware beyond a QR code.
A fan cam is self-serve software that puts fans on the big screen at live sports events. Fans scan a QR code displayed on stadium signage, their phone camera opens in the browser, no app needed, they take a selfie, an admin approves it with one tap, and the framed photo appears on the stadium display seconds later via a browser source in vMix, OBS, or Tricaster.
From QR code to big screen in 4 steps
QR Code on Screen
Display the unique QR code on your big screen, perimeter boards, or printed signage. It never changes, reuse it every match.
Fan Scans, Camera Opens
Fan scans with their phone. The camera opens instantly in the browser, no app download, no account, no friction.
Admin Approves in One Tap
Your operator reviews submissions in real time on the admin dashboard. Approve or reject with a single tap.
Photo on Big Screen
Approved photos appear on screen via browser source (vMix, OBS, Tricaster). Club and sponsor logos framed automatically.
Fan Cam Is Not…
Common confusions, cleared up.
Not a kiss cam
Kiss cams are broadcast-controlled, operators pick who appears. Fan cam is fan-controlled and opt-in.
Not a photo booth
No hardware to hire, no queues to manage. One QR code serves the whole stadium simultaneously.
Not a mobile app
Nothing to download. The camera opens directly in the fan's phone browser the moment they scan.
Not AI facial recognition
Fans submit their own photos intentionally. No automatic detection, no surveillance. Human moderation only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do fans need to download an app?
No. Everything runs in the fan's phone browser. Scan the QR code and the camera opens immediately, no app store, no installation.
What equipment do I need?
A screen to show the QR code and an internet connection. Your existing vMix, OBS, or Tricaster setup handles the big screen output via browser source.
How much does it cost?
From $30 for a Day Pass. Week and Month passes are available for clubs running regular fixtures, with subscription plans for full seasons.
Is it the same as a kiss cam?
No. Kiss cams are operator-controlled, a producer picks who appears. Fan cam is entirely fan-driven. Fans opt in, compose their own shot, and submit it.
Does it work with vMix, OBS, or Tricaster?
Yes. Go Fan Cam outputs a browser source URL. Add it to any scene in your production software and photos appear the moment they're approved.
