If one camera angle is useful, two or three is a game-changer. Multi-screen video feedback lets athletes see their performance from different angles at the same time — and it's much simpler to set up than it sounds.

Why Multiple Screens?

Every movement looks different depending on where you're watching from. A tennis serve might look perfect from the front, but a side view reveals the toss is too far forward. A swimming stroke looks smooth from above, but an underwater angle shows the catch is late.

Multi-screen setups let athletes and coaches see the full picture without having to reposition a single camera between drills.

What You Need

It's simpler than you'd think:

  • Two or more cameras — these can be built-in laptop/tablet cameras, USB webcams, or even phone cameras. Nothing fancy required.
  • A display — your laptop screen, a TV, or a projector. Something big enough that athletes can see from a few metres away.
  • Replay It — which supports multiple delay screens in your browser. Each screen can show a different camera feed with its own delay setting.

Setting It Up

  1. Position your cameras. Think about what you want to see. For most sports, a side view and a front/back view cover the basics. Place them where they won't get knocked over or interfere with the activity.
  2. Open Replay It and select your camera sources. Choose how many delay screens you want and assign a camera to each.
  3. Set your delays. You can use the same delay on all screens, or stagger them — e.g., one screen shows a 3-second delay for quick feedback, another shows a 20-second delay for reviewing a longer sequence.
  4. Position the display where athletes can see it naturally. Ideally near the activity area so they don't have to walk across the room to watch their replay.

Practical Tips

  • Start with two screens. Don't overcomplicate it on day one. Two angles is a huge step up from one.
  • Use a tripod for each camera. Stability matters — a shaky feed is distracting.
  • Involve the athletes. Let them choose which angles are most helpful. They'll engage more when they have ownership over the feedback process.

Try It Out

Replay It makes multi-screen video delay simple — no special equipment, no software to install. Just open it in your browser, connect your cameras, and go. Start your free trial and see how much more your athletes pick up when they can see themselves from every angle.
