Schedule Content in Playout

Introduction

Once you created the channels (video/audio) and contents (video/audio), you can schedule them in different time slots through the “Scheduler”. You can schedule content for the whole day, the whole week, and the month. When the end-users will visit your channel page, they can view the contents scheduled in different time slots. You can also select time zones for a specific region through the scheduler.
