Schedule a broadcast in advance
PANDA provides a number of options for broadcasting video from your channel, including choosing when you want to broadcast it. Whether you’re using an RTMP live stream, uploaded video file, or external source for your video, you can schedule when it will stream live on your channel.
Note: When scheduling a broadcast, the time and dates you choose will be those in your current timezone. If you want to schedule a broadcast for a different timezone (e.g., you are in New York, but the broadcast begins at 8 p.m. in California), you should choose the time that your broadcast will take place in your current timezone (e.g., 11 p.m. in New York, in the example above.)
