Edit stream metadata

After creating a Broadcast Live stream, you can enrich your viewers' experiences by incorporating metadata, which offers additional information about your stream. Metadata consists of descriptive elements such as stream descriptions, relevant tags, and the publishing date, all of which enhance your viewers' understanding of and engagement with your content.

Edit metadata

📘

The stream metadata is captured in the associated media item. Both the Broadcast Live stream ID and the associated media ID of the item have the same value.

Follow these steps to edit metadata fields for your Broadcast Live stream:

1. In your Media library, click the name of a stream. The steam details page appears.
2. Click the title of the stream to rename the video.
3. On the Basic information or Advanced settings tab, update one or more metadata fields.
4. (Optional) Add or manage simulcasting.
5. (Optional) Add or manage an SRT passphrase.
6. Click Save.

After editing your metadata, you can monetize the stream or embed and start broadcasting content.

Basic information

Contact your JWP representative for more information. From the Content Type dropdown menu, select a content type: Live Channel Live Event When you add a content type, the stream status and schedule of the media item will update automatically. The publish date will be set to 30 days prior to the planned start date.

Simulcasting

Simulcasting forwards your live stream to a maximum of three targeted social media platforms, extending your audience reach and content visibility. You can simulcast 24/7 channels and Live events.

🚧

If you are simulcasting a 24/7 channel, please ensure the target platform supports continuous streams without an end time.

You can add and manage simulcasting targets in an existing stream.

SRT passphrase

You can add and manage your SRT passphrase in an existing SRT-push or SRT-pull stream. Setting an SRT passphrase ensures that only authorized source encoders can send content to the ingest point.
