FAQ

I see "Manifest could not be loaded" in the video player.

This typically means that you are not sending any stream to the RTMP endpoint for the channel.

I'm pushing buttons in the Show Controller, but nothing is happening.

Ensure your Show Controller is in the right mode.

Draft: Only Affects Preview Sites

Live: Affects Your Live Published Site

When running your live event, ensure you are in the Live mode.
