    In partnership with ZMS Esports Studio

    Professional esports production for your own events

    Through our partnership with ZMS Esports Studio, schools and universities can give their own events a broadcast-grade production, including branded graphics, live replays, player cams, and casters, without the six-figure budget. Have it produced for you, or build a studio your school owns.

    We broadcast your event

    Hand over the day. The full event is produced remotely, so your team focuses on the competition while ZMS runs the cameras, graphics, replays, and the stream.

    • Player cams over a browser, with no extra hardware needed
    • Live instant replay and multi-camera switching
    • Custom graphics, intro video, and results screens in your colours
    • Streamed to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, or your school hall
    • Optional student casters with a near real-time commentary feed

    Per event, half or full day. Bulk pricing available for multiple events.

    Own it outright

    Build your own studio

    Own your production end to end. ZMS designs and installs a complete studio remotely, fully branded, then trains your team. After that, every event you host looks broadcast-grade.

    • Complete production build, branded to your school
    • Graphics driven from a simple spreadsheet, so changing a name updates every screen
    • One-button switching between games and player counts
    • Live replay and up to twelve camera layouts
    • A hands-on production role for students, beyond competing

    One-time build plus a low monthly software licence.

    How a remote broadcast works

    No trucks and no crew on site, just internet and a browser.

    1

    Players join

    Each gaming PC opens a webcam feed in the browser, whether players are in one room or across the world.

    2

    Gameplay is sent

    An observer feed carries the live match view through to the remote studio.

    3

    Mixed and streamed

    Cameras, graphics, replays, and commentary are combined live and streamed anywhere you choose.
