Advanced scheduling offers multiple options: One-time scheduling, Multiple-date scheduling, and a Repeat schedule. Each option is designed for different situations, helping you choose the best method for your streaming needs.
- One-time Scheduling
- Multi-date Scheduling
- Repeat Schedule
- Making changes to a scheduled or live stream with Multi-Date or Repeat Scheduling.
Important: Before using any scheduling method, ensure that you select the duration of your stream first; otherwise, scheduling will not be possible.
One-Time Scheduling
When selecting One-time scheduling, you can choose a specific date and time for your stream to go live a single time. By selecting this option, you can still schedule the stream for multiple future dates, but this process will need to be done manually.
Multi-date Scheduling
When selecting Multi-date scheduling, you can schedule the same stream to run multiple times on different days and at different times. Simply select the desired date & time for each stream individually in one place.
Once scheduled, you can track your upcoming streams in the Broadcasts. For example, if you choose to stream the same content on both May 17 and May 20, you'll see that the stream is scheduled for both dates and times.
Repeat Schedule
The Repeat Schedule feature is more advanced and offers more parameters to configure. By choosing this option, you can run your stream repeatedly at specific intervals. You can select either Regular Intervals or Consecutive Intervals.
With Regular Intervals, your streams will run every specified number of hours, and you can set them to stop after a certain number of runs.
Once you configure the scheduling, a summary will appear below, providing information about the total number of runs, duration, and the overall time frame. Additionally, a detailed breakdown will show the exact date and time each stream will broadcast.
Instead of specifying the number of "Runs," you can also select the number of "Days" your stream will run. In this case, the summary will adjust to reflect the duration in terms of days, including details on stream timing and frequency within the chosen period.
There is also an option to choose a Consecutive Stream Repeat Time, which allows you to set specific gaps between streams. In this case, you can specify the amount of time to pass between each stream and determine the number of streams by configuring the "Stop after" setting.
Making Changes to a Scheduled or Live Stream on Multi-Date or Repeat Schedule
If you have used Multi-Date or Repeat Schedule for your stream and decide to make changes once your streams have already been scheduled, be aware that any changes you make will apply ONLY to the first scheduled stream by default.
To ensure that your changes are applied to all other scheduled streams, you need to click "Apply changes to all scheduled streams" in the pop-up that appears after making any changes, additions, or adjustments.
The same principle applies when your first or any subsequent stream is already live, and you have additional streams scheduled for later. If you make changes while one of the streams is live, those changes will apply only to the current stream.
To ensure that your changes are applied to all scheduled streams that have not yet gone live, you need to click "Apply changes to all scheduled streams" in the pop-up that appears after you make any changes, additions, or adjustments.
