The live stream control panel allows you to control various aspects of your stream.

Prior to and during the live state of your event, a countdown clock displays with control button functions below. The controls are enabled during the time of the event.

If your event is a playout of pre-recorded content so does not contain any scheduled live content, the date of broadcast is shown.

The broadcast date is also shown after the event has concluded.
