What is On Demand?
The On Demand module lets you manage a library of pre-recorded content your audience can watch at any time.
Uploading Content
- Go to your channel → "On Demand" tab
- Click "Upload Video"
- Select your MP4 file
- The system will process the video
Videos go through the following statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| not_converted | Uploaded but not yet converted |
| converting | Conversion in progress |
| ready | Ready to play and share |
| error | Error during conversion |
Content Sources
The videos in your library can come from three sources:
- Manual upload: MP4 files you upload directly
- Recording Cloud: Recordings of live broadcasts converted to VOD
- Live Editor: Videos edited from the in-browser editor
Auto-Upload
The auto-upload system can automatically publish your videos to three destinations:
- XtreamCast: Publishes to your internal VOD library with its own embeddable player
- YouTube: Uploads to your YouTube channel. Supports privacy options: public, unlisted or private
- Facebook: Publishes to your Facebook page. Supports privacy options
You can configure which sources trigger the auto-upload: Recording Cloud recordings, manual uploads and/or Live Editor files.
Managing the Library
Each video shows: name, size, duration, bitrate, status and creation date.
Storage
The panel shows the storage: space used, available and total. VOD videos share the space with Recording Cloud recordings.
Capacity and integrations
VOD, recordings and Live Station files share contracted storage. With Live Editor Pro you can prepare clips from recordings for reuse; confirm the editing tools and export formats available in your panel before planning an edit.
A VOD library does not itself include subscriptions, pay-per-view, DRM, SSO or OTT apps. These integrations require agreement on scope, costs and provider before purchase.
Retention and purchasing
The public offer includes the VOD library in paid video plans. If you need a VOD-only service, request a specific proposal to confirm scope and availability before purchasing.
Before using the service as your archive, agree on the retention period and what happens to files when storage is exhausted or the service is suspended or closed. The storage allowance does not itself define a retention period. Export a separate copy of recordings and original files you need to keep.
