Platform

📄️ Manage your team

After signing up for the THEOlive console, you may want to collaborate with your colleagues using the same account and channels. This guide walks you through how to set up team access and collaboration.

📄️ Authorization

To make secure calls to the THEOlive REST API, both authentication and authorization are required. THEOlive uses token–secret pairs to authorize API requests and ensure secure access.

📄️ Alias

This guide outlines THEOlive’s multi-channel approach: ingest your stream once and create multiple channel aliases, each with its own unique playout configuration. In addition to customized settings per alias, THEOlive also allows you to apply individual security features—such as geoblocking and token-based authentication on a per-alias basis.

📄️ Redundancy

With THEOlive we want to make sure your viewers can continue watching your stream, even if there is an ingest failure or if there are connectivity problems in a certain location. It is hence possible to set up a fallback stream. This means that if one stream is unavailable for a short amount of time, the player checks if the fallback stream is available and switches the player source automatically to this stream. In this case, the viewers only see a small interruption and can continue watching without having to act.

📄️ Thumbnails and HLS

Thumbnail images representing what is currently happening in a live stream are available for populating a player poster frame, a scrollable list of available streams, and the like.

📄️ Viewer Insights

Easily monitor and analyze viewer behavior of your live stream

📄️ Viewer Tracking

With THEOlive, you can syndicate content through multiple distribution partners while utilizing the same channel, or alternatively track different groups through aliases. This can be helpful for aggregating viewing and billing data for a group of viewers.
