12 fan cam ideas worth sharing

By Ege Alp, maker of FanCam AI · Updated

The best fan cam ideas are personal and a little surprising: a birthday person on the big screen, a friend "spotted" at a game they never went to, or the family dog with popcorn in the stands. Here are twelve that work well with FanCam AI, with scoreboard settings that fit. Tip: the scoreboard shows team names of up to 4 letters in full, so short names make the best messages.

Celebrations

  1. Birthday big screen

    Put the birthday person in the crowd with their age as the score and two short team names, like BDAY 30-0 YOU. Pom-poms are the prop.

  2. Graduation day

    Your school's 3 or 4 letter code as one team, GRAD as the other, and the year as the score: 20-26.

  3. Anniversary nod

    Your initials, or first names of up to 4 letters, as the teams and the years together as a tied score, like 7-7.

Game day

  1. Pre-game hype post

    Post yourself "in the stands" in your team's colors before kickoff.

  2. The score you wanted

    Your team lost? Make the fan cam with the result you deserved.

  3. Watch party intro

    Make one for every friend coming over and play them on the TV as people arrive.

  4. Fantasy league trash talk

    Put the league winner on the big screen, foam hand raised.

Harmless pranks

  1. "Wait, were you at the game?"

    Send a friend's fan cam to the group chat the morning after a big match, then reveal it was made with FanCam AI.

  2. The boss on the big screen

    Only if your boss has a sense of humor, and only with their photo permission.

Pets and family

  1. Dog fan cam

    A crowd favorite. Popcorn, a team jersey and a paw wave. See dog fan cams.

  2. Grandparents at the final

    Put grandma in the crowd in the colors of the team she has supported for fifty years.

  3. Little fan, big stadium

    A fun keepsake for the family's next generation of supporters.

Frequently asked questions

Can I write any text on the scoreboard?

Team names are free text, but the scoreboard shows them like real TV graphics: names of up to 4 letters appear in full (BDAY, MIA, REX), longer single words become 3-letter codes and multi-word names become initials. The score is typed as X-Y, for example 30-0. Check the scoreboard preview in the app before generating.

Is it okay to make a fan cam of someone else?

Only with their permission. Use photos you have the right to use and keep it good-natured.
