Livebarn Inc., is a Canadian technology company that provides internet-enabled livestreams for amateur sporting venues.
Overview
Livebarn uses a subscription model for access. Subscribers can watch events at covered facilities live as well as on-demand.[1] Livebarn pays for and maintains the internet-enabled cameras that allow viewers to watch featured events.[2][3]
The service allows families of amateur athletes to watch their games from afar, and allows league offices to review safety concerns.[4] The company also provides various sharing options, and analytics in some instances.[5]
Livebarn shares revenue with the venues where they install their cameras; the revenue share has been reported as 10% or 20%.[1][3]
Livebarn provides coverage of various sports, however ice hockey rinks make up the majority of their venues, as the company was created for the sport, before expanding into others.[6] They have a partnership with USA Hockey.[7]
