Gamepad controls
A Bluetooth game controller clipped to the tripod runs the game without touching the phone. Pair it with the phone the way any Bluetooth controller pairs. CheerCam needs nothing set up, and the same map is under Settings > Game controller in the app.
Button names are an Xbox controller’s. View is the left centre button and Menu the right one. L3 and R3 are the stick presses. The left side of the controller is the home team, as on the scoreboard.
Buttons
Section titled “Buttons”A control that says held acts once the button has been held that long. A ring fills on screen while you hold, and letting go early cancels. Going live, stopping and recording take a long hold so they cannot happen by accident.

Things the gamepad does not do
Section titled “Things the gamepad does not do”Leaving the camera screen, focus and exposure, and putting a lower third on air stay touch only. Leaving ends the stream and the recording with no undo, so it is never on a button.
