A telestrator for every coach
Draw plays, runs and positions over match footage, game replays and tactics boards on any Windows PC.
Download free for WindowsTurn any match video into a tactics session
Dedicated telestrator software is expensive and locked to its own video player. Epic Pen draws over any footage you can play on a PC — YouTube, VLC, Hudl playback, broadcast clips or game replays. Pause, draw the play, and press play again.
Your tactics toolkit
Everything a telestrator does, over any video player you already use.
Arrows for runs and passesPRO
Show the run, the pass and the press with clean arrows and lines.
Circle players and zones — free
The free pen and highlighter handle quick circles, zones and scribbles.
A tactics board anywherePRO
Flip your screen to a whiteboard or blackboard and sketch the shape, the set piece or the rotation.
Names and instructionsPRO
Type player names, roles and instructions right on the frame.
Live review sessionsPRO
Ink fades as you talk, so the next clip starts clean.
Share it with the squad — free
Screenshot the annotated frame and send it to the team chat — free for everyone.
From footage to understanding
A video session in four steps.
Pause the footage
Any player works: YouTube, VLC, Hudl playback, a broadcast clip or an esports replay.
Draw the play
Arrows for movement, circles for players, zones for space.
Explain the why
Flip to the tactics board for shape and structure, then back to the clip.
Capture and share
Screenshot the frame for your pre-match pack or the team group chat.
Draw over any footage
No proprietary player, no imports. Use the footage where it already lives.

- VLC
- Hudl playback

Epic Pen draws over your whole screen — if the video plays on your PC, you can coach on it.
Esports VOD review
Esports coaches use the same workflow: pause the VOD or the replay client, draw rotations, positioning and timing windows, and let fading ink keep the review moving. One tool for Rocket League, Valorant, CS and whatever your team plays next.

Questions from coaches
Yes. Epic Pen draws over anything playing on your Windows PC — Hudl in the browser, VLC, YouTube, broadcast clips or your analysis suite. It isn't tied to any particular video player.
Yes. Run the game or replay client in windowed or borderless mode and draw straight over it — rotations, positioning and timing windows. It works the same over Twitch and YouTube VODs.
Use the screenshot tool to capture the annotated frame and save or share it. Ink itself is a live overlay — it clears when you're done, which keeps the next clip clean.
Yes. Epic Pen Basic is free for everyone, including clubs, academies and schools. Pro adds the full tactics toolkit, and volume pricing covers coaching staff and analysis rooms.
