The BoxCast Dashboard is where you will manage your BoxCast account settings and broadcasts. This article will provide an overview of the Dashboard's key areas.
Dashboard
While all the following areas lie within what we refer to as the Dashboard, the actual Dashboard button is like your home button. Clicking the Dashboard button will display any current, upcoming, and past broadcasts.
Schedule a Broadcast
The Schedule a Broadcast button is used to schedule the live events you plan on live streaming.
Channels
The Channels button will display a list of all your created channels. Channels are a great way to organize your content.
Embed
The Embed button provides a page where code can be tailored and copied to allow the BoxCast video player to be placed on your website.
Media Uploads
The Media Uploads button allows you to upload a broadcast, upload documents, add graphic overlays, add pre-event videos, add thumbnail images, upload a podcast thumbnail, set your default image for the video player (Posters), and build your own graphic template.
Multi-Site Player
The BoxCast Multi-Site Video Player is a solution for enabling remote campuses to watch your live broadcasts. Our advanced DVR player buffers your live broadcast locally, showing advanced statistics to ensure a beautiful picture every time. If you do not see the Multi-Site Player on your account but wish to use, please contact success@boxcast.com to discuss adding to your plan.
Reports
The Reports button will display all your viewer analytics, as well as ticket and donation reports. See views of content on the account, or view a map of where viewers are watching from.
