With the Video Platform, administrators can remotely schedule an impromptu or recurring live stream session for a Hardware Hub right from the Admin Panel's Devices page.

Scheduling a Live Stream on the Hardware Hub

  1. Log in to the Video Platform as an admin.
  2. Click on the Main Menu icon and select Admin Panel.
  3. Select Devices from the left-side navbar.
    The Main Menu button, Admin Panel, and Devices tab are highlighted on the Devices page.
  4. Click on any Hub device name to reveal all the available tools and select the Schedule Session.
  5. Fill out all the information for the session.

    The Schedule Session window.

      • Capture Title: Title of the session.
      • Capture Description: Add a brief description about the session.
      • Session Owner: The user's name who this session belongs to.
      • Device Profile: Select a recording profile for this device. 
      • Save Location: The location where the recording will be saved for the session owner.
      • Publish Location: The Course Channel to publish the recording to.
      • Notify Course When Complete: Check to notify users within the course once the recording is published.
      • Disable Auto Captioning: Check to disable auto-generated captions for the session.
      • Require manual start of scheduled hub sessions: If checked, the session will begin when the session owner manually starts it.
      • Include live-human captioning: If selected, human captioning will be available during live streaming. The live stream must be scheduled at least 1 hour in advance and requires the human-captioning 3Play Media integration with the Video Platform.
        • Important: If this setting is enabled, a refund will not be issued if you cancel the live stream less than 24 hours before it starts.
      • Date and Start Time: Select the date and time for the session.
      • Length: Enter how long the session will run.
      • Enable Live Stream: Select Yes to enable live streaming for the scheduled session.
      • Live 24/7: If live streaming is enabled, select Yes to create a 24/7 live stream.
        Note: 24/7 live stream sessions will not be recorded.
      • Repeat: Select whether you would like this to be a recurring session.
      • Label Color: Select the color for the session's label on the device's schedule.
      • Send Copy of Schedule: Select additional users to copy this session to their calendars. 
  6. Once done, click the Add to Schedule button to save the session to the schedule.

Live auto-captions, if enabled, will appear one minute after the live stream begins.

Obtaining the Link to the Live Stream

After scheduling a live stream, administrators can obtain the direct link to the live stream from the Devices page.

The Session Details window is open and the Delete button is highlighted.

  1. On the Devices page, click on any Hub device name to reveal all the available tools.
  2. Select View Calendar to open the Hardware Hub's schedule.
  3. Find and click on the event tile on the calendar.
  4. Copy down the Session URL of the live stream.

If an administrator schedules a series of Live Streams, the Session URL will remain the same and automatically direct to the next live event.

  2. Click Pause to pause the Live Stream in real-time.
