# Introduction

> Accounts in Motto

Accounts represent a person or machine that can log in to the Motto Studio (API) and perform actions that require some level of elevated access.
For example, signing into an account with the correct permissions allows you to start a live stream or create a highlight clip.

<Note>Accounts should not be confused with with **users**, which represent viewers or end users of your OTT service.</Note>
