What's Broken With Other Platforms
YouTube runs ads you can't control
Random ads play before your students perform. That's not a good look, and you don't see a dime.
NFHS charges your fans
Parents and grandparents have to pay a monthly subscription just to watch their own kids. That creates friction and kills viewership.
Facebook isn't a school platform
Algorithms decide who sees your streams. Your content competes with everything else in the feed.
How HometownLive Fixes It

Schools & Districts FAQ
