Everything you need to register, score, stream and watch matches on Tennis Star.

Getting started

Open Account and sign up with your name, email, mobile and a password (6+ characters).
Open Account → My profile and save your player details: date of birth, gender, city, state association, category and photo.
You get a Tennis Star ID (like TS00000002). Share it so organisers can add you to matches quickly.
Forgot your password? Tap “Forgot password?” on the Sign in screen and open the email link.

Find players and follow them

Open Players and search by name or Tennis Star ID. Filter by category (U12 to Open).
Open a player to see all their matches, wins, losses and titles.
Tap Follow to see their matches in Home → Following.
Your own record is in Account → My stats.

Create a match

Account → Create match.
Choose singles or doubles, and the format: best of 1, 3 or 5 sets, games per set, tie-break and no-ad options.
Add players by name or Tennis Star ID.
The match gets a code (like TS-20BD). Anyone can search this code to watch.

Score a match live

Open the match and tap Score.
Tap the player who won each point. Games, sets, deuce, advantage and tie-breaks are counted automatically.
Made a mistake? Use Undo. Wrong server or format? Use Edit match setup.
Every point appears instantly for all viewers on the app and website.
Use Pause live or Start/Resume live on the scoring screen, including after Change scorer. The filming phone must keep its live camera session open; these controls cannot open a closed camera remotely.
When the match ends, tap Finish match to save the result and update both players’ stats.

Go live with your phone camera

Open the match and tap Go live. Allow camera and microphone. The camera opens in preview: nothing is broadcast yet.
Fix the phone on a tripod or fence, sideways (landscape), behind the baseline. Adjust zoom and framing until the whole court is visible.
When ready, tap ▶ Start live. Only then does the match go live and the YouTube video start. Tap ✕ to close the preview without going live.
Live video goes to our YouTube channel. The video is public and stays on the channel as a replay.
Use the round buttons at the bottom (see “Camera buttons” below). Long-press any button to see its name.
Keep the phone charged and the screen on. If the internet is weak, switch HD to SD.

Zoom to fit the court

In the camera preview (before Start live) or while live, use − and + at the top-left to zoom in steps of 0.1.
The camera starts at the widest view (0.5x on phones with an ultra-wide lens). Tap + until the court just fills the screen. Hold − or + to zoom faster.
You can also pinch with two fingers on the camera picture.

Watch matches

Open Live to see all matches being played now with their score.
Open a match to watch the video and live scorecard. Tap Full screen and turn the phone sideways; the score stays at the bottom-left.
Recorded replays have digital zoom up to 8x. Use + and - to enlarge, Left/Right/Up/Down to move around, and Reset to restore the whole picture and player controls. Zoom cannot recover missing detail or confirm an in/out line call.
In the YouTube mobile app, open the recording full screen and pinch with two fingers to zoom. YouTube controls its own zoom limit; Tennis Star cannot change YouTube's desktop player.
Tap the 🔔 bell on a match to get notified when it goes live.
On YouTube or Google, search #TennisStarIndia or @Livetennisindia to find all our matches.

Tournaments

Account → Create tournament. Add categories (U12, U14, U16, U18, Open; singles or doubles).
Add entries and create the draw (knock-out bracket or round-robin).
Matches from the draw can be scored and streamed like any other match; winners move to the next round.
Open Events to see all tournaments and their draws.

Settings and updates
