Uploading a game to the cloud

Games are saved on your phone first. Uploading is up to you: open the game in the app and tap Upload to cloud. Once it's in the cloud your team can watch it on the web, and you can share it and make clips.

Upload size

By default KickCam uploads a 1080p copy, which is much smaller than the original:

• 1080p at 30 fps: about 4.5 GB an hour.
• 1080p at 60 fps: about 6.3 GB an hour.
• The original: about 15.8 GB an hour in 4K, or 9 GB an hour in 1080p60.

Wi-Fi or mobile data

Wi-Fi is recommended. Uploads wait for Wi-Fi unless you turn on Upload over cellular in Settings (or Use cellular data on the upload card). Mobile data can be expensive for a full game.

You can lock your phone

Uploads keep going in the background when you lock the phone or switch apps. If the connection drops or the app is closed, the upload resumes where it left off instead of starting again.

How long it takes

Roughly the upload size divided by your upload speed. For example, 5 GB at 20 Mbps takes about 35 minutes. The upload card shows the speed and the time remaining.

Upload at home or at the club on a good Wi-Fi network. School and public Wi-Fi often block or slow large uploads.
