Livestream Recorder
The Livestream Recorder module allows you to record livestream projects and store the resulting recordings separately in a selected on-demand project or content pool.
This module is useful when livestreams should be archived, published, or processed as on-demand content after or during a live event. Recordings are created from a selected source livestream project and saved into a defined target project.
The Livestream Recorder can be used independently from Live Clipping. Live Clipping is available when Timeshift is enabled and allows users to create selected clips from a livestream, while the Livestream Recorder is used to record the stream into a target project automatically or manually.
From the Livestream Recorder module, users can:
View existing recorder configurations
Create new livestream recorders
Select a source livestream project
Select a target on-demand project or content pool
Enable automatic recording
Enable interval recording
Filter recorders by source or target project
Review recorder status
The Livestream Recorder module is available from the main navigation under Modules.
Recorder Overview
The Livestream Recorder overview displays all configured recorders in a table.
Each row represents one recorder and includes the most relevant information:
Recorder ID
Title
Source project
Target project
Status
Creation date
At the top of the page, users can switch between the following views:
All Recorders Shows all configured livestream recorders.
Only with Auto Recording Shows only recorders where automatic recording is enabled.
Only with Interval Recording Shows only recorders where interval recording is enabled.
The overview also provides search and filter options.
Available filters include:
Source Project Filters recorders by the livestream project that provides the incoming signal.
Target Project Filters recorders by the on-demand project or content pool where recordings are stored.
Creating a Recorder
To create a new livestream recorder:
Open Modules in the main navigation.
Select Livestream Recorder.
Click Create Recorder.
The Create Recorder side panel opens.
Enter a Title.
Optionally add a Description.
Select the Source Project.
Select the Target Project.
Optionally enable Auto Recording.
Optionally enable Interval Recording.
Save the recorder.
After saving, the recorder appears in the overview and can be used for the selected livestream project.
Recorder Settings
Title
The Title is the name of the recorder configuration.
Choose a clear and descriptive title, especially when multiple recorders are used for different livestream projects or target content pools.
Example titles:
Main Event Recorder
Townhall Recording
Webinar Archive
Manual Recorder
Auto Recording to Public Videos
Description
The Description field can be used to add internal notes or additional information about the recorder.
This field is optional.
Useful information can include:
Purpose of the recorder
Event or project reference
Recording workflow notes
Target project information
Internal publishing instructions
Source Project
The Source Project defines which livestream project should be recorded.
This must be a livestream project that can receive a live signal.
When the source project receives a signal, the recorder can create recordings from that livestream, depending on the selected recording settings.
Target Project
The Target Project defines where the recordings are stored.
The target project is usually an on-demand project or content pool. After a recording is created, it appears in the selected target project and can be managed like other on-demand content.
This allows livestream recordings to be separated from the livestream project itself and stored in a dedicated video library, archive, or publishing project.
Auto Recording
The Enable Auto Recording option allows the recorder to start automatically when the source project receives a live signal.
When Auto Recording is enabled:
Recording starts automatically as soon as the source project receives a signal.
Recording stops when there is no more signal.
The resulting recording is saved to the selected target project.
No manual start action is required.
Auto Recording is useful for recurring livestream workflows where every live signal should automatically be recorded.
Typical use cases include:
Automatically recording all townhall livestreams
Archiving webinars without manual intervention
Recording regular internal broadcasts
Creating an automatic on-demand version of each livestream
Interval Recording
The Enable Interval Recording option allows the system to create separate recording files at defined intervals.
If Interval Recording is not enabled, a recording file is created for the full duration of the signal. However, if the signal exceeds 24 hours, a new file is created automatically.
By enabling Interval Recording, users can split long livestreams into shorter recording segments.
This is useful for:
Long-running livestreams
Continuous event streams
24/7 streams
Workflows where smaller recording files are easier to process
Separating recordings into shorter time-based parts
Difference Between Livestream Recorder and Live Clipping
The Livestream Recorder and Live Clipping can both be used to create on-demand content from livestreams, but they serve different purposes.
Livestream Recorder is used to record a livestream and save the recording into a target on-demand project or content pool. It can run automatically when a signal is received and is suitable for full recordings or interval-based recording workflows.
Live Clipping is used to create selected clips from a livestream. It is available when Timeshift is enabled and allows users to choose a specific time range and export only that section as a new on-demand video.
Use the Livestream Recorder when the livestream should be recorded as a whole or in defined intervals. Use Live Clipping when only selected moments, highlights, or segments should be exported.
Managing Existing Recorders
Existing recorders can be reviewed in the Livestream Recorder overview.
Depending on user permissions, users can open, edit, or remove recorder configurations.
When editing an existing recorder, review the source project, target project, and recording options carefully. Changes may affect how future livestream signals are recorded and where recordings are stored.
Typical Use Cases
Livestream Recorder can be used for different recording workflows, for example:
Recording livestreams automatically for later on-demand use
Archiving internal company livestreams
Creating on-demand versions of webinars
Saving townhall recordings to a dedicated content pool
Recording events into a public video project
Splitting long livestreams into shorter interval recordings
Separating livestream production from on-demand publishing workflows
Notes
The Livestream Recorder module can be booked in Module Management.
Recordings are stored separately in the selected target project or content pool.
The selected target project should be an on-demand project or content pool where recorded videos can be processed and managed.
The availability of recording options may depend on the account configuration, enabled modules, and user permissions.
