You can pause your live stream video and display a custom message on the video player. This helps keep the public informed when an executive or closed session is in place.
The local video recording will not stop, only the live stream. You will use this feature when your board or council goes into an executive session during a public meeting, and you want the live-stream watchers to know the public meeting has not yet concluded.
Important Note
Live stream pausing and the custom Pause Message function will not work if the live stream is played through an embed. These two features only work if the live-streamed video is played through the Public Portal.
