Q: Linear Channel and Live RTMP
Can I schedule my live events on a Linear Channel? For example, we go live to Youtube and such every noon hour.
One other question: is there a fallback or offline loop we can play when there isn't anything scheduled? For example, Pluto TV will play like this animated "starting soon" or something screen after one episode ends early and waiting to start on the next half hour.

Jan 31, 2025A: Hi,
1. You can send a live stream to your Linear Channel by selecting it as a "Destination" in your Live Stream settings. This way, whenever you start your live stream, it will automatically be broadcast on the channel in real time. Once the live ends, the channel will continue with its scheduled content.
2. In the dashboard, there is no direct way to add a loop video that will be displayed when the channel is empty of programming. However, this is something that we can set internally, please contact support or email us at support@viloud.tv. It will work in the HLS/M3U8 output link of a channel.
Thanks :)
Joan.
