Scheduled premiere

A premiere is a showing at a set time: before it starts, viewers see a countdown; during it, they watch together.

Reschedule changes the time; Cancel schedule returns the broadcast to draft.

What viewers see

  • before the start — a page with a countdown and the start time in the viewer's time zone;
  • during — the stream from the current moment; viewers can rewind to the start of the premiere but not skip ahead;
  • after — with Keep recording on, the link keeps playing the video as a regular video; with it off, viewers see "The broadcast has ended".
