In order for a session to be "ready" to begin, all required Session Settings need to be configured. The session settings status indicates if all the required settings have been configured or not. It can have two possible values: "configured" or “required". If the session settings status is set to "configured", it means that all required settings have been configured, and the session is ready to start. If the session settings status is set to "required", it means that some required session details are missing, and the user needs to submit them to start the session.

This column displays one of 4 states: “Ready,” “Started,” “Scheduled,” and “Finished.” 

Yes, you can edit the session after you save it. You can edit session details by clicking on the name of the session in either the Dashboard or Studio view, or you can modify Session Settings by clicking on “Details” in the Dashboard, or the gear icon next to the session name in Studio view. 

The settings state in Session Details in Remoto Playback indicates whether a user needs to configure settings in order for the session to be started. It can be either "configured" or “required".

To edit the general information of a session in Remoto Playback, you can click on the "Edit session general information" button in the Session Details pop-up. This will open a new window where you can make changes to the session name, date, time, and notification settings. Once you have made your changes, click the "Save" button to save your edits.

A streaming session can be deleted in two ways, once the session is in a “closed” state:A) From the Session Details window, click on the trashcan button in the lower left

       B) From Dashboard view, click on the “Delete” button under the Actions column

Once a session has been deleted, it will disappear from the Dashboard. This can not be undone. 

If the settings state for a session in Remoto says "required" you will not be able to start the session. You should click on the "Configure" link in the Session Details pop-up to access the session settings. Review the required settings and ensure that they are properly configured. Once the required settings have been configured, the settings state in the Session Details pop-up should change to "configured" and you should be able to start the session.

Streaming, Audio, video and Timecoded Markers settings are required to start a session in Remoto Playback. You can configure them by clicking on their respective tabs in the Session Settings pop-up window. Click on Next to apply the settings.

To configure screen capture settings in Remoto, click on the "Video Settings" tab in the Session Settings window. You can choose a frame rate, select the screen area which will be streamed, and identify or edit the selected screen area. 

These settings determine how you want the participants to view the stream.  Either through the desktop app (Desktop Only),  or Desktop and a Web Browser (Desktop & Web) - the best option would be the last one so participants can use either the downloaded app or a web client version of the app. As an organizer, you will always use the desktop app, and there are a few things to keep in mind. Some other things to keep in mind as you are deciding which streaming setting to use: when streaming to Desktop only, this allows up to 16 channels of audio (OPUS), Desktop to Web streaming allows up to 6 (AAC) channels, however those joining through the web app will receive a stereo mixdown

Timecoded Markers are only available in the Desktop only streaming type. If Desktop & Web streaming is chosen however, the organizer will be able to add comments, and any Guests joining through the Desktop app will be able to, but those joining through the web will not be able to.

FPS should always match your source material if possible. If you are using “stream from application” or a “Screen Capture” option and are unable to determine the fps of the source, it’s suggested to se 24 fps. 

To start streaming, click “Start Stream” in Remoto Playback Studio.  Click on the "Play" button in your NLE/DAW or source to start the content.

To stop or pause streaming, click on the "Stop" or "Pause" button in the NLE/DAW to pause the content. If you need to pause or stop the stream in Remoto Playback without pausing the actual content, click “Stop Stream”.  You may need to do this to change a Session Setting.  

There is no transport control within Remoto. Playback is controlled from the source DAW or NLE by the session Organizer.

Remoto Playback is a real time media streaming solution. As such, it’s not possible to pause the stream/media without the session Organizer doing so from the host DAW or NLE. 

A session can be started before it’s scheduled. Once you have started a session (not start a stream), the clock has started for that session and the session will end once the time limit has been reached. If you have a subscription, you can start and end that scheduled session before and /or after the scheduled parameters as well, and the time used will be deducted from the monthly hourly allotment according to your subscription type.   

Downmixing is performed as to the specifications of the streaming format. For more information, please see RFC 7845.
