I don’t see the stream I want. How do I request getting it added?

At the end of the list of available streams, you’ll find a tile that will enable you to request additional sources. When you request a stream, our team will be notified and will look into the logistics and availability of adding it into SnapStream.

How long will my streamed content be archived?

During the limited beta, each customer will receive 1TB of storage for streaming channel recordings, separate from their normal SnapStream Cloud storage. Once the 1TB of storage has been used, the oldest streaming channel recordings will be deleted to make room for new ones.

Can I do the same things with Streams content that I do with broadcast TV content?

Yes! The new Streams feature helps bring more source content into your SnapStream platform so you are sure to never miss a moment. Once you start recording a stream, you can watch, search, clip, and publish video moments using the accompanying transcripts from it just as you do with your current broadcast TV content.
