Configuring Video and Session Settings
When setting up Haivision Media Platform, administrators can configure system-wide video and session settings, such as the default video expiry and maximum recording duration.
To configure the video and session settings:
- Click the icon and select Administration from the navigation drop-down menu.
- Click Configuration on the toolbar and then click Videos/Sessions on the sidebar.
The Videos/Sessions pane opens:The Default Video Expiry specifies whether videos are kept forever or if they expire and are deleted after a specified number of days. Setting a global timer to delete videos saves you from having to spend time cleaning up old videos.
Note
Modifying a video does not reset the timer; it is based on the creation time. Trimming a video creates a new video and resets the timer for that new video, but leaves the old one unchanged.
Users can override the Default Video Expiry on a per-video basis. For details, see Editing Video Information and Metadata in the User's Guide.
- For the Maximum Recording Duration, type in the maximum number of hours. HMP stops recording when reaching that duration.
- To allow a session's sharing permissions to be passed to videos made from that session (disabled by default), check the Videos Inherit Permissions checkbox. The objective is a workflow decision to help reduce the number of times a user must enter the sharing dialog. Permissions are copied at the start of the recording. The recording creator is still granted "OWN" permissions on the new video.
- Click Save Settings.
