  1. Open the Cloud Video home page.

  2. Select a channel.

  3. In the Broadcasts tab, in the row with the broadcast you need, click and select Edit.

  4. Rename the broadcast.

  5. In the Stream input protocol field, select the required protocol, RTMP or SRT.

  6. In the Stream type field, select:

    • Push: To transmit to the Cloud Video server a video signal from a video streaming program, such as vMix and OBS. This is the main connection method.
    • Pull: To connect Cloud Video to your streaming server and receive its video signal.
  7. If you selected the Pull stream type, enter the address of your broadcast server in the Server address field.

  8. Select Delay mode, which sets the time between video capture at the source and its playback for viewers:

    • Standard (15-20 seconds): Ensures high image quality and resilience to unstable connections. Suitable for broadcasts without active real-time viewer interaction.
    • Low (4-5 seconds): Suitable for scenarios with active viewer interaction but more sensitive to network quality.
  9. Enable Auto-start broadcast to publish episodes automatically upon receiving an input signal.

  10. Click Save.

Use the update REST API method for the Stream resource or the StreamService/Update gRPC API call.

  1. Under Episodes, click next to the episode in question and select Edit.

  2. In the Episode type field, select a mode:

    • Live: Continuous broadcast with no set end time. The record is not saved: you can only rewind it to the extent of the rewind buffer.
    • Recorded broadcast: Broadcast with set start and end times. The record is saved and remains available after the broadcast.
  3. Edit the episode name and description.

  4. In the Access list, edit the episode access type:

    • All users: Anyone with the link will have unlimited access to the episode.
    • By temporary link: Access to the episode will be provided through a special link.

    The video is available via a temporary link for a maximum of 12 hours.

  5. When selecting Live as the episode type, specify in seconds how far the viewer can rewind the broadcast in the Rewind buffer (sec) field.

  6. When selecting Recorded broadcast as the episode type, specify the broadcast start and end date and time in the Episode start and Episode end fields.

    Tip

    To embed part of a broadcast on a website, specify an episode time range. Get an embed code or link to a broadcast. You can also add part of a broadcast to a playlist.

  7. Enable or disable monetization. To enable the feature, you should preconfigure it.

  8. To change a player preset, in the Player template list, select the one you need from those available in the channel or create a new preset.

  9. To change the thumbnail, click  Select file and select a new thumbnail image.

    The following cover formats are supported: JPG, PNG, and GIF.

  10. Click Save.

You can add any number of episodes. To delete an episode you do not need, click next to it and select  Delete.

Use the update REST API method for the Episode resource or the EpisodeService/Update gRPC API call.

The rewind buffer is a pre-loaded part of the video. It sets how far back a viewer can rewind the broadcast. For example, a value of 1 hour means the viewer can go back one hour.
