Actions on Broadcasters

The top of the Info pane includes buttons for taking the following actions on the selected Broadcaster:

  • Mute/Unmute – disables/activates notification for error/recovery events. Set the date and time when the mute will automatically be cleared by clicking on the down arrow and selecting mute until.
  • Disable – disables the Broadcaster. When disabling a Broadcaster, you can migrate the existing sources and channels to a different Broadcaster by selecting the Migrate sources and channels to different Broadcaster(s) option and then selecting the Broadcaster(s) preference on which the streams will be hosted in the Target Broadcaster/s drop down menu. Options are: Prefer Primary Broadcasters, Primary Broadcasters only, Backup Broadcasters only or Prefer Backup Broadcasters. The selected target broadcaster option will override the original Target Broadcaster option of the Source/Channel, however if the source/channel is configured to a specific/named Broadcaster Target it will not participate in the migration process. Similarly, if the selected setting is Backup Broadcasters only and the Broadcaster that is being disabled is the only Backup Broadcaster in the cluster, the migration will not be possible.
