The side panel provides quick access to stream control and configuration options. You can open it by clicking anywhere in the white space of a stream section in the expanded match view, which opens the panel on the right side of the screen.

​

To open the side panel, first navigate to the Matches section, then find your match and click the drop-down arrow to expand the match view. Next, click anywhere in the white space of the stream row (avoid clicking on buttons or icons), and the side panel will open on the right side of the screen.

​

The top section of the side panel displays stream configuration details along with several control buttons. From here you can use the Configure button to open stream settings and edit the stream configuration, the View button to open the full-screen Stream Monitoring page, and the Start Stream button to begin streaming (this is only available once an input has been assigned to the stream).

​

If you need to start several streams at once, you can do so using bulk actions. First select the checkboxes on the left side of the screen for each stream you want to start, then click the Start Stream bulk action button at the top of the screen.

​

The Input Assignment section lets you quickly assign or change the input for the stream. Each stream requires one input, which you can select using the dropdown; the assigned input determines the video source for the stream.

​

The Destinations section displays assigned destinations and allows you to manage them. You can assign or change multiple destinations from the dropdown menu, and each stream can have multiple destinations (typically 3-4). Important: reassigning a destination from one stream to another will move it, meaning the destination will no longer be assigned to the original stream.

​

The Overlay Assignment section shows which overlay, if any, is assigned to the stream. You can assign or change the overlay using the dropdown menu, though reassigning an overlay from one stream to another will move it. Overlay assignments can also be changed from the Stream Monitor page (View) or from the stream configuration settings (Configure).

​

If an overlay is assigned to the stream, the side panel also displays overlay information, including the overlay control mode (Auto or Manual) and the ad type setting. From here you can use the Configure button to open overlay settings, the Control button to open the Control Room, and the Settings button to open the overlay settings page.

​

To close the side panel, simply click the X at the top of the side panel.
