Channel program

The program is the list of videos the channel plays in a loop. You can edit it while the channel is on air.

Add videos

  1. Click Add videos → choose a project → select videos → Add.
  2. The videos go to the end of the loop. Each one shows +N into the loop on the right; the top shows loop with the total duration.

Only your own processed videos that match the channel format can be added to the program:

BadgeWhy the video can't be added
too widethe frame is wider than the channel's aspect ratio — for example, a 2.39:1 film in a 16:9 channel
missing 1080pthe video lacks a quality the channel broadcasts. If the video was just uploaded, that quality may still be encoding — wait and add it again

Channel traffic is charged to the owner of the videos.

Order

Drag a row or click Move up / Move down; Sort orders videos by name or duration. Remove videos takes the selected videos out of the program — the files stay in their projects.

Editing on air

While the channel is on air, editing doesn't interrupt the stream: each edit publishes a new version of the program, which takes effect at the next boundary between videos. The top of the tab shows Edit takes effect at 9:36 PM, new videos are marked added and removed ones removed. Until then, the previous program keeps playing.

Tip

Scheduled shows (an 8:00 PM premiere, a morning block) are set up in the schedule, not the program — the program fills the gaps between them.
