Tracks, audio, and subtitles

All tracks from the file (qualities, audio, and subtitles) are on one tab. Remove the ones you don't need from the stream.

What's on the tab

At the top is a summary: Readiness, how many video, audio, and subtitle tracks there are, and what's currently Included in stream. Below is each track with its technical details: resolution, codec, frame rate, bitrate; language and channels for audio; language for subtitles.

Audio and subtitles are taken from the uploaded file along with their language tags. For example, an mkv with ten subtitle tracks gives you ten subtitle tracks, and viewers pick the language in the player.

Remove a track from the stream

The Included in stream toggle on a track or quality removes it from what viewers receive, without deleting it. Turn it back on and the track returns.

In a track's Actions menu:

  • Re-transcode encodes this track again;
  • Delete removes the track entirely.
