In this article, we’re starting off from the moment your live stream has ended.
Recordings
Go back to your WordPress admin and then to WpStream ‘Recordings’. Here, you have 3 options. You can either create a Free-To-View VOD or a Pay-Per-View VOD from your recording. The third option is uploading another video from your own desktop. Simply make sure that your video is in mp4 or mov format.
Editing your Video On Demand
After clicking on the ‘Create new Free-To-View VOD from this recording’, you will now have to add a title, description, tags, categories, a featured image, and any other SEO optimized content. Once you are happy with these details, you can publish your VOD.
Once your VOD is published, click on the permalink under your title and the link will take you to the VOD page.
