Video Stream

Set the video stream time as unlimited, by selecting the Unlimited radio button, or define a maximum time per session, in seconds, minutes or hours. When the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the browser.

The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems on the network. To allow the highest available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio button.
