Option to embed video link such as ustream within iscorecast

Would it be possible to provide an option that lets admins specify an embed link for a video feed within the iscorecast page? This would make it possible to direct users to a single page with both scoring data and the live video together. I am currently using ustream and it suggests three standard embed resolutions (480x296, 608x368, 864x512), or users can provide a custom resolution for the embedded video.

In the future you could even create a new ballpark graphic for iscorecast with a stadium display that would contain the embedded video. For something quick for this season, just having the video show up on the side or in the center would be great.

I know that I could create a separate site with both ustream and iscorecast embedded, but I was hoping it could all be done within iscorecast. Thanks.

We will add this suggestion to our enhancement list. For now we would suggest creating a page that embeds both as you suggested (and many people are already doing).

Seconding that request.
I use a single page with two iFrames now, one with the live stream and the other with smaller HTML scorecast version. It would be nice indeed to have the live stream right in the middle and all the scorecast info around it.
However, as discussed in previous posts, there is always the issue of the live stream being several seconds or even minutes behind the scorecast. Not sure how we could ever sync the two.
