During a webcast, the system administrator leads through the event, releasing presentation slides at the correct time or supervising the chat.
As a system administrator, you can see the list of all created webcasts.
To begin, select the desired webcast in the list. The detail view of the selected webcast will then open.
The detail view consists of the following areas and functional components:
| Area/ Functional Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Webcast name and ID | At the very top, just to the right of "WebcastOperator", the webcast name and ID are displayed. |
| Status selection | Depending on the state of the current webcast, you can switch to the next possible status by means of the provided button.

Once the webcast has switched to on demand, you cannot change the status anymore.
