Game-Sync Quick Tips

Select Lights

  • Go to Groups screen

  • Tap name of group to play game animations

  • Tips:

    • Pick lights near TV screen

    • Groups of 10 or fewer lights keep animations smooth

Sync Your Game

  1. Open the game you're watching.

  2. Tap SYNC TO TV.

  3. Look at the event shown on screen.

Use the event details to find the matching moment in your broadcast:

  • Event description

  • Game clock (when available)

  • Scoreboard (score + period, half, quarter or inning)

If the Event Hasn't Happened Yet

  1. Leave the Sync screen open.

  2. Wait for the event to happen on TV.

  3. Tap JUST HAPPENED when you see it.

You're synced.

If the Event Already Happened

  1. Rewind your TV to just before that event.

  2. Resume playback.

  3. Tap JUST HAPPENED when you see it.

You're synced.
Note: rewind usually required for NFL, NHL, and EPL. 90 - 180 seconds is typical.

Fine-Tune Timing

After syncing, the button changes to SYNCED and displays + and controls.

If the effects feel slightly off during the game:

  • Tap + if lights trigger before the play.

  • Tap if lights trigger too long after the play.

Adjustments are typically only 1–5 seconds.

Watching From the Beginning?

You can sync OnSwitch to a replay of the entire game, just as easily as you can to the live game.

  1. Start the game from the beginning in your TV app.

  2. Tap SYNC TO TV.

  3. Use the |< button to jump to the beginning of the event list. (Usually the “Game On!” air horn.)

  4. Wait for the opening kick-off, tip-off, face-off or first pitch.

  5. Tap JUST HAPPENED when you see it on TV.

Note: Replay syncing is available while game is in progress. Once a game is complete, it is removed from the active Games list.
