Streaming App Screenshot Templates

What the first screenshot has to do

Lead with the live or exclusive moment rather than the browse rail. Every streaming app has a browse rail and it communicates only that you have a catalogue you cannot show. A live score overlay, a watch-party frame, a download-for-offline state are all yours to depict.

What gets streaming & media listings rejected or ignored

• Real posters, team badges, league marks and broadcaster logos. This category generates more rights complaints than any other and Apple removes listings on receipt of one.
• Dark-on-dark layouts that vanish in the App Store's light-mode search results, where most users will actually see the thumbnail.
• Channel counts and "watch anything" claims that overstate what the licence covers in the user's own country.
• Player chrome — scrubbers, buffering states — presented as a feature.

Localising these screenshots

Content availability differs by country, so a screenshot implying a title or match is available will be wrong in most of the stores it ships to. Keep territory-specific content out of the artwork entirely, and translate only the interface, so one screenshot set stays honest across every locale.

Every template here exports at 1290×2796 for App Store Connect and translates into 40+ languages in one pass. If you are unsure which locales your listing actually needs, the App Store locale code reference lists every one Apple supports, and the text expansion calculator shows how far each language will stretch your headline before you commit to a layout.
