• Participants & Parents/Guardians: Providing video streaming consent for cricket participants under 18

Overview

Cricket Australia captures consent from participants under 18 years old (and their parent/guardian) to film and live stream cricket matches.

The objective of collecting consent (or withdrawal of consent) at the time of registration is to enable clubs and participants feel safe when participating in a match that is being livestreamed knowing there are appropriate measures in place.

Consent is only required for participants who are under 18 years old at their registration date. Participants who are 18 years or older are automatically eligible for filming and streaming and cannot opt out via PlayHQ.

This guide explains how the consent system works and where you can view participants consent settings.

Viewing Participant Video Consent Status

As an administrator within Cricket Australia, you can check a player's video consent status in several locations:

Via participant profiles

View individual consent status when managing participant information.

1. Navigate to the Participants page or a competition season Participant List
2. Search for and select the participant you want to view
3. Find the Video Consent section
4. View the participant's current video consent status (Yes/No)

Via participant reports

Generate reports showing consent status across multiple participants.

1. Navigate to Reports
2. Access the Competition Participants Report (via the Report Builder or generate a legacy Competition Participants Report)
3. View the 'Video Consent Setting' column to view each participant's current video consent status (Yes/No) 

This is useful for auditing consent across your entire organisation or specific teams before the season begins.

Reviewing team consent before matches

Team pages

Check consent status for all team members in one location.

1. Navigate to a Team squad page
2. In the Players tab, review the consent status column for each team member
3. Look for the video camera icon indicating streaming availability

Game pages and fixtures

Verify consent status for upcoming matches.

1. Navigate to your competition fixture or Game Day > Upcoming Games
2. Locate the game you want to review

3. Hover over the video camera icon to see consent status

    

Understanding Consent Indicators

When viewing games, fixtures, and game day information:

• Look for the video camera icon

• Hover over the icon to see a tooltip with consent status

• The tooltip will show:

  • Home Team Name = Full Consent, Partial Consent, or No Consent

  • Away Team Name = Full Consent, Partial Consent, or No Consent

For Coaches and Team Managers

Via MyTeams

Team managers and coaches can quickly verify consent through MyTeams, or in team-specific reports showing consent for your players and opposition.

This allows you to:

• Confirm your team's streaming eligibility

• Coordinate with opposition teams regarding consent status

• Provide necessary information to streaming providers (like Frogbox)
