How To Manage Your Recordings

The WpStream platform allows you to manage your recordings by uploading videos, keeping recordings of live events, recording new videos, and publishing videos – these can be either pay-per-view or free, with copy protection included. 

The WpStream ‘Recordings’ section features an intuitive interface that was designed to be as simple as possible, yet flexible and feature-rich. Ease of use has always been one of the platform’s strong points. 

In this article we’ll take a look at your website’s Recordings and the different ways you can use and manage your recordings and videos.

• Want a safe and easy way to use storage space for video files, right on their website
