Things to note
Live streaming on evexus is included part of your subscription package. However if you wish to store any live streams as recordings in evexus then there is an additional module you need to enable, at a charge to you.
If you would like to store any live streams, navigate to your plan and enable the 'on-demand content hosting' module.
Prior to your need of live streaming, please notify your customer success executive - they will need to enable an IVS channel creation in the backend.
