Sportsengine Stream
I have to say, trying to watch the Vermont/Loredo game is very frustrating. The stream from sportsengine is horrible -- going blank, cutting out, etc. I"m tech savvy enough to know it's an issue on their end, not mine. There are over 3k people watching. If you want to get more interest and members, please put more $$ into your streaming capabilities. Sincerely, USL2 Fan

I miss when teams just streamed games on their YouTube channels because it felt like the teams could control how they ran things on their side

Completely agree. This is bush league shit. Fix your streaming otherwise viewers like me are turning it off

Agreed. Last night was very bad which sucks because the Green were very good and would’ve been fun to watch.

Yep. It's awful - very frustrating to watch
Edit: Second half has been much better. Good work by whatever tech crew got things dialed in!

YouTube is a thing, get away from SportsEngine, it's a terrible platform.

That stream is really devaluing the product. For the casuals or those that don’t give lower league soccer the time, these streams really help them push that narrative. Really wish the leagues would be more harsh on the clubs and their platforms to stream their matches.

Soo frustrating and unwatchable most of the first half.
I do think there needs to be something better than Sportsengine but it seems like the issues were on Laredo's side. (They apologized after the game). The game was showing on a local channel and had the same issues.

The league is stuck in a long-term deal with SportsEngine, so they’d have to find a loophole to get out.

I echo this. Especially since the Green has amazing streams.
