PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

TriCaster’s Streaming Configuration panel (see below) lets you store configuration settings for a Connection as a preset that is easily accessed afterward from a convenient drop-down menu.

SOLUTION AND WORKAROUND

This panel also has a built-in web browser, permitting you to both view your stream from the remote site (just as your audience will see it) and use webpage based controls as required. To open the Configure Stream Connection panel, click the Configure button (gear) beside the Stream button, just below the Stream (on/off) button monitor.

The panel is arranged in three horizontal bands:

• The uppermost contains controls for creating and managing Connection presets, along with familiar web browser navigation tools.
• The large viewport beneath displays the current webpage, if any.
• Finally, the panel’s footer contains a status line and OK button.

Hint: If you like, once you have configured your Connection(s), you can collapse the header to a compact view using the up/down control to the left of the connection name field (see below).
