In order to import a recording of a live webcast stream into a VideoManager, you must define your VideoManager here and provide the necessary access data. Doing this allows you to enable automatic importing of the recording of any of your webcasts into the defined VideoManager. In addition, this VideoManager can be used to assign a video that will play during the pre-live, post-live, and on demand states of your webcast. Videos are then played out directly from the defined VideoManager in the webcast.
To create a new VideoManager in the WebcastManager, proceed as follows:
- In the navigation panel, click "VideoManager". In the editing area, you will see a list of all previously created VideoManagers.
- Click the [Create] button to open a form.
Enter the following information for your VideoManager:
Fields marked with "*" are required information.
- Name
- VideoManager-ID

- VideoManager Password
Playout Host - https://d.video-cdn.net/
Note that the VideoManager and Playout Host values are different if you are using a custom VideoManager instance. Please contact Customer Relations if you require further assistance.
