Finding Replays

When a room publishes a stream recording, it can be found in the Replays section of the community profile. Replays can also be shared with a direct link.

Replays with NBA broadcasts are not available yet

At this time, Replays can’t be published for streams that feature an NBA broadcast. We plan to support this soon! In the meantime, room creators are still able to access private recordings of streams with NBA broadcasts.

Publishing Replays

Every Playback stream is recorded. By default, Replays are published after the completion of each stream. Room creators can disable auto publishing from their Replay settings.

Room creators can configure the publishing status of each Replay individually.

  • Private: Only available for room creators
  • Unlisted: Available to anyone who the Replay link is shared with
  • Public: Surfaced on the room’s community profile

Updating Replay metadata

Replays use the event title, description and thumbnail that were set for the original live stream. After the live stream is finished, room creators can edit any of these assets from the Replay manager.

FAQ

How are views counted?

On the Replay page you will see a view count for the stream. Views are counted when a visitor watches at least 30 seconds of a stream. Views reported on a Replay page are cumulative of live views and Replay views for a given stream.

Are Replay views reported in room analytics?

At this time, live stream views are reported in analytics, but not Replay views. We plan to report Replay views in Analytics soon.

Does Creator Fund compensation reward Replay views?

At this time, Creator Fund compensation rewards live stream views but not Replay views. This may be subject to change.
