Downloading Your Game to Your iPhone Camera Roll

BallerCam lets you save completed games directly to your iPhone’s Photos app (Camera Roll).

The available download quality depends on whether you filmed the game, whether it was livestreamed or recorded in Record Only mode, and whether the HD recording has been uploaded to BallerCam Cloud.

📱 How to Download a Game to Your Camera Roll

To save a game to your iPhone:

1. Open the BallerCam app.
2. Tap Teams.
3. Select the team.
4. Tap Games.
5. Open the game you want to download.
6. Tap the down-arrow Download icon below the video player.
7. If prompted, allow BallerCam access to your iPhone’s photo library.
8. Wait for the download to finish.

When the download is complete, BallerCam displays a confirmation message and the video will appear in your iPhone’s Photos app.

🏠 Finding a Recently Filmed Game

If you recently filmed the game, you may also find it from Recently Filmed on your BallerCam Home screen.

Recently Filmed helps you quickly access games that are still stored on the filming iPhone, uploading, processing, or ready to watch.

Once you open the game, use the available Download icon to save a copy to your Camera Roll.

🎥 If You Filmed the Game

If you were the person who filmed the game, BallerCam stores a 1080p HD local recording on your iPhone.

This happens whether you chose:

• Live Stream, or
• Record

The local HD recording is available on the filming iPhone immediately after the game.

Because that HD file is already on your device, you can save it to your Camera Roll without waiting for an HD cloud upload.

📡 Downloading a Livestreamed Game You Filmed

If you livestreamed the game:

On the filming iPhone

You can immediately download the 1080p HD local recording to your Camera Roll after the game ends.

On a computer

The initial livestream replay can be downloaded in 720p.

After the local HD recording is uploaded to BallerCam Cloud, the 1080p HD version becomes available for download on a computer as well.

🎬 Downloading a Record Only Game You Filmed

If you used Record Only, the game was saved locally to the filming iPhone without being livestreamed.

On the filming iPhone

You can immediately save the 1080p HD recording to your Camera Roll.

On a computer

The game must first be uploaded to BallerCam Cloud before a download becomes available.

Record Only games are not available to other viewers until they have been uploaded.

👥 Can Team Members and Fans Download Games?

Yes. Team members and fans with access to the team can also download available games.

The quality and timing depend on the type of game and whether the HD recording has been uploaded.

Livestreamed Games

Before the filmer uploads the HD recording:

• Team members and fans can download the 720p livestream version.

After the HD recording has been uploaded:

• The 1080p HD version becomes available.

Record Only Games

A Record Only game is not immediately available to other users because the video initially exists only on the filming iPhone.

After the filmer uploads the game:

• Team members and fans can access and download the 1080p HD version.

📊 Download Availability at a Glance

📸 Allow BallerCam Access to Photos

The first time you save a game to your Camera Roll, your iPhone may ask for permission to let BallerCam access your photo library.

You must allow the required Photos access for BallerCam to save the video successfully.

If you've previously denied access, you can review BallerCam’s permissions in your iPhone Settings.

💾 Does Downloading Use More iPhone Storage?

Yes.

The original BallerCam recording and the copy you save to your Camera Roll are separate files.

Downloading a game to the Camera Roll creates an additional copy of the video on your iPhone.

For example, if the original BallerCam recording takes several gigabytes of storage, saving another copy to Photos will require additional free space.

Before downloading a long game, make sure your iPhone has enough available storage.

📱 The Original Recording Is Not Automatically in Your Camera Roll

When you film with BallerCam, the original HD recording is stored locally through BallerCam on the filming iPhone.

It is not automatically saved to the Photos app.

If you want a separate copy in your Camera Roll, use the Download option after the game.

☁️ Do I Need to Upload Before Downloading?

If you're the filmer using the original filming iPhone, no.

Because the 1080p HD recording is already stored locally on that device, you can save it to your Camera Roll immediately after filming.

Uploading is still recommended because it:

• Stores the HD recording in BallerCam Cloud
• Upgrades a livestream replay to the HD version
• Makes Record Only games available to other viewers
• Makes the HD version available from other supported devices

💻 Can I Download the Game to a Computer Instead?

Yes.

For livestreamed games, a 720p version can be available on a computer immediately after the stream ends.

Once the filmer uploads the HD recording, the 1080p HD version becomes available for computer download.

For Record Only games, the recording must be uploaded before it can be downloaded from a computer.

🌐 Can I Use the Downloaded Video Outside BallerCam?

Yes.

Once the game has been downloaded, you can use the video with other supported platforms or editing tools.

For example, you can upload BallerCam content to:

• YouTube
• Hudl
• Social media
• Other third-party platforms

Make sure you have the necessary rights or permission to share or publish the video.

⚠️ Before Removing the Original Recording

If you plan to remove the original local recording from your filming iPhone to free up space, first make sure you've completed any actions you want to take with it.

Depending on your needs, you may want to:

• Upload the HD recording to BallerCam Cloud
• Save a copy to your Camera Roll
• Download a copy elsewhere for safekeeping

Once the only remaining local copy has been permanently removed, it cannot be uploaded later.

💡 Best Practices

For a smooth download experience:

• Make sure your iPhone has enough available storage.
• Keep BallerCam’s Photos permission enabled.
• Wait until the game has fully ended before downloading.
• If you filmed the game, save the local HD version before removing it from your device.
• Upload your HD recording if you want other team members and fans to access the best-quality version.
• For long games, keep your iPhone connected to power while saving or managing large video files.
• Confirm the completed video appears in Photos before deleting another copy you want to preserve.
