FAQ
Q: Does it rebroadcast the original recording or the trimmed/replaced version?
A: It will use the trimmed broadcast or the replacement broadcast.
Q: Can I stream to Facebook or YouTube with Simulated Live?
A: Yes, you can broadcast to all the same places as any BoxCast broadcast.
Q: Can I schedule a simulated live broadcast for a broadcast that is in the future?
A: Yes.
Q: Can I schedule a recurring simulated live broadcast?
A: Yes. But it will broadcast the same content every time. You cannot yet sync it with recurring broadcasts. For example, I always want my recurring 9:00 AM broadcast to broadcast at 5:00 PM.
Q: Can I schedule a rebroadcast of my broadcast immediately after it ends?
A: Yes, but we recommend that you leave a 5-10 minutes buffer between to ensure the recording is saved in time to be replayed. For example, we would recommend that you schedule a rebroadcast of your 9:00 - 10:00 AM broadcast for at earliest 10:05 - 11:05 AM. If you schedule back to back, you risk it not going live on time.
