Live Rewind

This feature gives you more control over the live stream itself. You can go back to a play, attack, or any earlier moment within the available portion of the stream, even if it is not marked as a key event, then return to the live moment. This type of live playback control is common in sports streaming services that allow viewers to pause, rewind, and move forward until they catch up with the live broadcast.

This feature is part of «Al-Misbar», the deeper match-viewing experience we promised to give you more control during the match. If you miss a moment, you can go back to it and continue watching from wherever you choose. It is available only to subscribers on the Basic or Premium plans.

#How do I use it?

While watching a match, directly from the player:

1. Move the playhead to the moment you want to go back to.

2. Continue watching from there.

3. When you want to return to the current moment, choose the option to return to the live stream.

Note: While you are watching an earlier point in the stream, the live match continues in real time. This means you will be watching with a delay until you return to the live moment.

#How is it different from «Key Moments on the Player Timeline»?

• «Key Moments» gives you shortcuts to specific moments that have been identified as important events.

• «Live Rewind» lets you choose any available moment yourself.

If you know which event you are looking for, use its marker on the timeline. If you want to go back to something else you saw a short while ago, simply move along the timeline and return to it directly.

#How is it different from «Match Events While Watching»?

• «Match Events While Watching» helps you find a specific event and then takes you directly to that moment.

• «Live Rewind» does not require an event at all. You can return to any available part of the stream.
