TargetVideo allows you to schedule a livestream and link it to a specific livestream channel. Simply create the schedule, set everything up in your encoder, embed the player on your page, sit back, and relax while our system takes care of the rest.
- Under the Livestream section in the CMS, select Schedules and click on the Create Schedule button.
Mandatory Fields
- Title: Name your schedule.
- Livestream Channel Selection: Choose the channel to assign the schedule.
- Date/Time (Start/End): Set the start and end date and time for the livestream.
- Syndication Rule: Define the sharing options by choosing a syndication rule.
Optional Fields
- Description: Provide an optional description for the schedule.
- Allow Playback After Time: This option allows you to override the end date and time setting. If the stream is still active (i.e., your encoder is still actively sharing the SRT URL), the schedule will continue streaming.
- IAB Content Taxonomy: Categorize the content based on the IAB taxonomy.
- Tags: Add relevant tags to the schedule.
- Add to Playlist: You can assign a livestream schedule video to an existing playlist in the system.
Each schedule will automatically inherit the tags and IAB category from the associated livestream channel. You can modify or add tags and IAB categories at the schedule level.
All schedules will be listed under the Schedules section.
For each schedule entity, there is a corresponding video entity that can be found in the video library.
Once created, you can only edit the Start/End date/time, title, and description within the schedule entity. Any changes to the title or description will not reflect in the video entity. To modify the title, description, tags, snapshots, or any other video-related details, edits must be made directly in the video entity.
You can easily navigate to your scheduled videos in the library by filtering them.
Grab the embed code and implement the scheduled stream, and you’re all set!
