The Video Element allows you to add either a video file or a video stream from HLS, DASH, UDP or a Live TV Passthrough.
Note: If you wish to use a YouTube video, Twitch stream, or other publicly available video source, you would want to use the YouTube element or the External URL element.

Adding a Video Element
When you add a Video Element, a window opens, allowing you to select an item from your Media Manager, Pixabay, or Pexels, you can also upload a new image by dragging the file on your computer to the dialog box.
You select Cancel if this Video Element is going to be used to bring in Video Streams like HLS, DASH, UDP, or Live TV
If you select a video file, it will fill the space and begin playing. You can use the Gear Icon in the upper right to open the Edit options.

IPTV, Live TV, and Video Streams
Korbyt supports the display of a separate video source in the signage system through the Video Element. With all these options, the video will not be visible in the CMS; instead, a blue screen displaying the area where the video will play is shown.
Live TV / HDMI At the Media Player
Live TV is the insertion of an HDMI video input into the signage display at the screen/media player.
This requires the Media Player to have an HDMI input, to which the local device (cable box, decoder, Blu-ray player, etc.) is connected.
