What are Templates?
Templates act as the metadata for your multistreams. They are designed for you to pre-set and change/update the metadata (title & stream description) when you are going live to your destinations.
Your templates can be accessed and managed by clicking the Main Menu > Templates
Template Breakdown
Templates are separated into two sections:
- Internal Information that is for personal use only, and your streaming audience can't see.
- Streaming Information which will be made public on your live stream when you go live.
Internal Information
