With a Content Library subscription, you can save videos and embed them in a page or broadcast them to viewers as scheduled events. This allows you to schedule library videos for playback as live to viewers.
You can set up a library video broadcast to a web destination from the video itself or the Schedule page. Currently, you cannot manually start from a library video.
Plays when embedding a library video are not reported in event analytics. However, if you schedule a library video to broadcast to a web destination, viewership at that destination will be reported in Studio’s event analytics.
