Two types of Broadcast destinations
a. The ‘Stream Now’ destination is a continuously
accessible public channel with a permanent URL.
Streaming to the ‘Stream Now’ page is as simple as
start and stop.
b. Event destinations can be created, scheduled,
started, and stopped. Every event comes with its own
page URL, and once an event is finished it cannot be
started again. After finishing an event, it is saved on
its own page.
Four key stages in the life cycle of a broadcast
Once you start Broadcast:
Preview - Preview the video you intend to broadcast. Videos in preview state are visible on the event’s Live Control Room page.
Go Live - Makes your event visible on its own channel page. An event can not return to preview once it has gone live.
Once you stop Broadcast:
Stopped - Broadcasts can be stopped and restarted at any time while the event is in the preview or Live state.
Complete Event - You will no longer be able to broadcast to the event, but it will be saved on the event page for viewing.
