Description
As mentioned in the previous section, you can determine to which VideoManager Pro your webcast stream can be uploaded.
Steps
The following steps need to be done only once before uploading a video to VideoManager Pro.
- Link your Webcast account to a VideoManager Pro. If you have not linked your account, follow the steps described in chapter "Setting up a VideoManager".
When you configure a webcast, select the appropriate VideoManager Pro and link it to the Webcast. This is described in the "Live" chapter.
If a VideoManager is marked as default in the VideoManager list, it will be automatically selected in the VideoManager Pro selection list.
Additionally, if there is a default upload channel set for a VideoManager, it will be automatically selected in the Channel selection list.
The webcast stream will be uploaded once the status 'live' is switched to 'post-live' in the WebcastOperator (see "Controlling a Live Webcast").
The title of the webcast corresponds to the name of the video file. The publication status of this video is automatically set to "Released" in your VideoManager Pro.
Channel Selection
In Webcast Manager, you can upload the recorded livestream to one or more VideoManager Pro channels.
The recorded livestream inherits the owner group of selected channel in VideoManager Pro automatically.
If multiple channels are selected, the video will be uploaded to each channel, gets a dedicated video id and will be automatically assigned to the owner group of the channel.
Video on Demand
As well, you can save a recorded livestream for later playback. This is done automatically whenever you upload a video to VideoManager Pro; the video is assigned to be used as video on demand.
If you store a livestream recording in multiple channels belonging to different groups, the video of the first selected channel will be used for playout when the Webcast event is set to "On Demand"."
You can override the automatic assignment of on demand video by manually changing the configuration.
To do this, navigate to the Languages tab in Webcast Manager.
In the On Demand section, enable "Use video from Webcast Manager".
In the following section, select the VideoManager Pro account, desired channel and the current webcast.
If you enable Video on Demand, the recorded livestream can be viewed in the Webcast Consumer view.
The video that will be played back is stored in the specified VideoManager Pro account, and only that video will be used for Video on Demand.
