Why does ProPresenter Say I Need an Additional License?

Each Resi subscription comes with one software encoder license, which you’ll use to encode with ProPresenter. If you need more than one machine to have access to encode and broadcast through ProPresenter, you’re going to need an additional license. If you run out of licenses, ProPresenter displays the following error message: “To enable this device, you will need to add an additional license.”

To do so, contact your Customer Success Manager or the Customer Success team at success@resi.io.

What Does It Mean When the Live Streaming Timer Is Green, Yellow, or Red?

When you’re broadcasting with ProPresenter, the live button in the top right will turn green, yellow, or red. This indicates the status of your stream. If it’s gray with no timer, your broadcast is inactive. Renewed Vision also has a tutorial for Setting up Resi Streaming in ProPresenter which explains the streaming timer status.

Green status

If the timer is green, your broadcast is running without interruption. 

Yellow status

If the timer is showing as yellow, it means that viewers are experiencing dropped frames. This occurs when a computer doesn’t have the resources to run video capturing software properly. The dropped frame(s) are on the user-side. It doesn’t affect the Resi software encoder nor delivery of content to the cloud. Your stream may still be active. 

This issue is usually resolved by allocating more resources by closing programs and non-essential software running in the background. If that doesn’t solve the dropped frame(s), please contact Renewed Vision Support.

Red status

If the timer is showing as red, an error has occurred and video capture has stopped completely. This could be due to your network connection dropping or if a computer is severely underpowered it cannot allocate resources to capture the video at all. 

Make sure your network connection is still active and allocate more resources by closing programs and non-essential software running in the background. If that doesn’t solve the error status, please contact Renewed Vision Support.
