Uploaded Video

With HotMic, you can upload videos to share with your viewers in streams. When you upload videos, we automatically convert them to high-quality HLS streams that you can share simultaneously with your viewers.

Uploading Videos

We support uploading videos in a variety of formats. Once uploaded, all videos will be converted to an HLS stream for playback on all devices.

Permissions to Use Uploaded Videos

Currently, after you upload a video, you or any member of your org can use the video in their stream. We do have advanced permissions coming soon, to give you more control over these videos. This will allow you to designate only certain users to be able to view and use content.

Using Videos in Streams

After you upload the video and it has finished converting, you can use the videos in your streams. To use an uploaded video in your stream:

  • Go to the "Video" tab
  • Search for the video you want to play. Search works on both tags and the name.
  • Tap the video to open it.
  • Start playing the video, and your viewers will see it!
  • Take other actions on the player, and those actions will be synced with your viewers. Actions you can take include:
    • Play
    • Pause
    • Seek (change position in the video)
    • Change volume
    • Mute
    • Close player
  • When you close the player, your viewers will no longer see the video.
