Updated August 31, 2023 22:56

If you have a video you want to use for a live or on-demand event, you can to upload it to your Media as an encoder video, web video, or library video.

The Library tab is the location for your stored videos when you subscribe to Resi’s Content Library. Each video will have an embed code and stream URLs you can use to create an on-demand event when/where you want and the videos will be stored indefinitely. To learn more about the Content Library, see Resi Content Library.

When you broadcast to a web destination, you can automatically save the video to your Library after it is done broadcasting. You can learn more by reading about how to use the autosave toggle.

If you want to create a web video from this upload, click the toggle icon next to Create web video.

Toggling Create web video on will create a web video you’ll be able to access from the Web Videos tab in your Media. It will also pop up a subset of menus in the Library page for you to choose if you’d like to have this available to stream immediately or set aside for the next replay.
