VOD

​

Introduction

Once a Motto live-stream ends, it automatically becomes a Video-On-Demand (VOD) stream. This means that your users can watch the stream after it has ended at their leisure. However, you may also want to upload VOD content that was not streamed live. This guide will show you how to do that.

​

Get Started

​

Uploading

When using the Studio, VOD creation is a part of the process of creating a new event or creative work. When doing so, you will be asked to create one or more “streams”, after which you can select “Video Upload”. If you are uploading a large file (like a full sports match), this may take a while, and it is important to keep your browser window open during the upload. You can associate more than one upload to a single event or creative work, which may be desirable when you want to upload e.g. multiple camera angles for the viewer to choose from.

​

Processing

Once your file is uploaded, our systems will take some time to process your file(s). This may take a while, depending on the size of the file.

​

Publishing

Once your video file is fully processed, you can press the “Save” button in the event/creative work creation sidebar. You can then navigate to the Studio’s Video Manager and see your video appear there. However, it is not yet available to be watched by your viewers. You will first need to publish the video, which can be done by setting the visibility to “published” in the Video Settings tab in the Video Manager.
