SnookerON turns a good Android tablet into a professional snooker scoreboard with live scoring, YouTube streaming, player stats and tournaments. You buy the tablet once — and a camera only if you want one, because it can stream from the tablet's own. From us you only pay the subscription for each table.
SnookerON used to be for clubs. It isn’t any more. Any player with a free account can subscribe to a virtual table of their own and score, stream and keep statistics from their own phone or tablet — no club, no venue, no hardware from us. The same professional scoreboard, in your own name, wherever you play.
One app for every system. StreamON keeps the score, draws the overlay and pushes the live stream. Install it once — on a club tablet or on your own phone — then choose which platform and which table you are running.
SnookerON is an app. The scoreboard, the live match pages, the statistics, the tournaments and the streaming all run on an ordinary Android tablet at the table — download it and start the same day, with no shipping, no customs and no waiting. You provide the tablet — and a camera if you want one — we provide the software and the service.
No installer visit, no delivery date. If you already have a tablet in the club — or just the phone in your pocket — you can be scoring your first match this evening.
A 10″–11″ tablet with a USB-C port — and the strongest processor your budget allows if you plan to stream. Mount it on the wall or on a stand next to the table and keep it on a charger — that is your scoreboard. See the models we recommend.
Only if you want video. Any USB webcam works, and so does an IP camera on the club network — but so does the camera already built into the tablet or phone you score on, so you can go live without buying anything at all. The app puts the live score overlay on the picture and sends it to your YouTube channel. Which one to use.
StreamON is the app that does the scoring and the streaming for every one of our systems. Take a subscription for your table and we email you the download link straight away, with the username and PIN to sign in with. Install it once, choose SnookerON, pick your table — and you are scoring. Cancel, move or renew a table whenever you want.
Everything below is standard equipment you can buy in any electronics shop, in your own country, at your own price.
Scoring runs on almost anything. Streaming is the demanding part — for hours at a time the tablet has to pull a USB camera, encode video, hold the Wi-Fi and keep charging, all at once. That is a question of processor, memory and cooling, not of which Android version is printed on the box. These are the combinations we would buy ourselves. You buy them yourself, wherever you like, at whatever price you find.
In this order: a current mid-range or better processor, 8 GB RAM if you stream, a USB-C port with USB host (OTG) support, and a screen bright enough to read across the table. A recent Android version comes with that hardware anyway — 13 or newer handles USB cameras best.
If you buy one, it must be UVC (standard USB Video Class, "driver-free" / plug-and-play). Almost every name-brand webcam is. Cameras that need a vendor driver on Windows will not work on a tablet. The camera in the tablet or phone needs nothing at all — it is already supported.
A tablet has one USB-C port. A powered hub with PD pass-through gives you camera and charger at the same time, which is what a table needs when it is live all evening. Not needed if you film with the device's own camera.
The tablet or phone you score on already has a camera, and SnookerON can stream from it. It costs nothing and it works. We still suggest a separate camera, and the reason has nothing to do with the picture — it decides where the tablet has to be mounted.
A USB webcam or an IP camera does the filming, so the tablet only has to score.
The device films and scores at the same time. That means the device is the camera, and it has to be placed like one.
Once the match has started, the marker or referee scores it from any phone on the same Wi-Fi: every point, every foul, every frame and rack, the undo, the timer and the end of the match, right to the last ball. Nothing has to be typed on the tablet again. So a tablet mounted high on the wall, filming the table, is a perfectly practical setup — it is simply a setup where the phone does the work. Pass the phone around and it follows whoever is marking.
| For | What to look for | Example models |
|---|---|---|
| Scoring only | Any current entry-level chip, 4 GB RAM, 10″+ screen. Cheapest way to put a scoreboard on a table — live scores, stats and tournaments, no video. | Lenovo Tab M11 · Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 · Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 |
| 720p / 1080p streaming | Mid-range 6 nm chip (Dimensity 7000-series, Snapdragon 6/7-series, Helio G100+), 8 GB RAM, hardware H.264 encoding. The sweet spot for a club: enough power to encode 1080p for hours while the scoreboard keeps running. | Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ (Dimensity 7300) · Lenovo Idea Tab · Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro |
| 1080p60 / 4K ambitions | Flagship-class chip (Exynos 1580, Snapdragon 8-series, Dimensity 8/9000), 8–12 GB RAM and a metal body that sheds heat. Only worth it for a show table or a federation stream — and 4K needs the upload to match. | Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE · Galaxy Tab S-series · Lenovo Idea Tab Pro |
Buy the Wi-Fi version — you do not need mobile data. Check the shop's spec sheet says USB-C and USB OTG / USB host before you order, and when two tablets cost the same, take the one with more RAM and the newer processor.
| Resolution | Example models | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 720p | Logitech C270 · Anker PowerConf C200 (also does 2K) | Fine for a club table and a modest upload. Cheapest way to go live. |
| 1080p | Logitech C920s HD Pro · Logitech C922 Pro · OBSBOT Meet 2 | The C920 family is the safest bet anywhere: pure UVC, no drivers, sold in every country. |
| 4K | Logitech MX Brio / Brio 4K · OBSBOT Tiny 3 (motorised, tracks the table) | Only pays off with a strong upload and a tablet from the top tier. |
| No USB at all | Any RTSP / ONVIF IP camera on the club network | Mount it high above the table and leave the tablet free. Nothing to plug in. |
| Buy nothing | The camera in the tablet or phone you already score on | Free, and good enough to go live tonight. The device then has to be mounted high and firmly — and you score from a phone. See why. |
