- How does Live as media work?
- How to set up Live as media?
- What can I do with Live as media?

👌 Resolution/Answer

Live content can appear and be accessed directly from the
Media Library, rather than only through theLivesection. Allowing users to manage and work with live content, such as creating clips, directly within theMedia Library..png)
-
When scheduling a live ingest in the scheduler, you can select which account types have access. Access can also be adjusted later at the account type level within the
Media Library, without giving users access to the entireLivesection. -
This allows the
Livesection to remain focused on live stream management, including receiver setup, scheduling, and monitoring stream health.
🔖 Notes
- A live will only appear in the
Media Libraryif it is attached to a collection. This is typically done when scheduling the live, but a collection can also be assigned later.
