      The Cloud Streaming Services (CSS) console provides the Live Video Caster (LVC) service. This document describes how to configure and use the LVC and how to manage cloud streaming after activating the LVC service.

      Prerequisites

      You have activated the LVC service.
      You have logged in to the CSS.

      Creating a Caster

      1. Log in to the CSS console, select Live Video Caster from the left-hand navigation pane.
      2. Click Add caster.
      
      
      
      3. On the Add caster page, set the following parameters:
      3.1 Caster name: Custom.
      3.2 Caster description: Custom.
      3.3 Set end time: Enabled by default.
      3.4 End time: Custom.
      Note:
      The caster will stop at the set end time, and the preview, output, recording, and relay functions will all stop at that time.
      If the end time setting is disabled, the caster will not automatically stop, which will incur unnecessary charges. In this case, you need to manually turn off the live streaming (PGM) to stop the billing.
      Closing the console page will not stop the billing.
      
      4. Click Confirm to complete the creation of the caster.
      5. If the end time is set, a dialog box pops up asking for your confirmation. Click Confirm.
      

      Opening a Caster

      To open the Live Video Caster Console, click Open in the operation column of a caster.
      
      
      

      Setting a Caster

      1. You can view casters you created in the Live Video Caster list.
      2. To modify a caster, click Set in the operation column of the caster to enter the caster settings page.
      
      
      
      3. After modifying the caster, click Confirm to save the modification.

      Copying a Caster

      The copy function allows you to quickly duplicate existing caster instances.
      1. Go to the Live Video Caster Console, and choose More > Copy in the caster operation column.
      
      
      
      2. The default name of the copied caster is Copy of xx. You can customize the name of the caster. Click Confirm to complete the copy.
      

      Stopping a Caster

      After using a caster, stop running it in a timely manner. When a caster is stopped, the preview, output, recording, and relay tasks will all stop, but all the LVC settings, including the input, layout, output, and relay settings, will be retained.
      1. Go to the Live Video Caster Console and click Stop in the caster status column.
      
      2. A dialog box pops up asking whether to stop running the caster. Click Confirm to stop the caster.
      
      Note:
      When a caster is stopped, its status changes from
      
      to
      
      and the billing stops.

      Deleting a Caster

      If you no longer wish to maintain a caster, you can delete it. Once a caster is deleted, all its configurations will be deleted, and its preview, output, recording, and relay tasks will stop.
      1. In the operation column of the caster you want to delete, choose More > Delete.
      
      
      
      2. In the dialog box that pops up, click Confirm to delete the caster. The deleted caster is no longer included in the instance management page.
