IMPORTANT: Upgrading to the new version of Streaming will require you to reconfigure the settings of your encoder. Additionally, it is not possible to revert back to the old version once your upgrade is complete.
For an optimal upgrade experience, we highly recommend that you both proactively consult your encoder documentation, to understand where and how you will enter your new streaming credentials, and perform this upgrade well in advance of any potential streaming events.
Welcome to our Streaming software upgrade! Let’s take a look at what’s new and improved to enhance your streaming experience.
First, check out the new Quick Links menu! You’ll find our newest feature highlighted for your convenience.
Our biggest new feature? The Stream Now button! No more 15-minute wait—go live instantly for those spur-of-the-moment or last-minute events. Just click Stream Now, just add some quick details about the Stream and you’re live!
When you click on "Stream Now" this pop-up will appear to select all of your details right from that pop-up and not have to schedule streams in advance.
We also now offer Back-to-Back Streaming. Now you can transition smoothly from one event to the next without a forced break. (No more needing 15 minutes in between streams.) Keep your momentum going without any interruptions!
In the Streaming Settings tab, you’ll notice simplified names for easier navigation: Media Settings is now just ‘Media,’ Appearance Settings is ‘Appearance,’ Equipment Settings is now ‘Sources’ and Embedded Settings is ‘Embedded.'
