Storyboard for webcast studio

About

Prepare your presentations effortlessly with Kaltura's Storyboard. Upload files in advance to simplify session prep. Organize, take breaks, and return to find everything where you left it. The storyboard replaces our familiar playlist and 'timeline', making life easier for hosts and moderators.

The storyboard displays as a horizontal panel at the bottom. 

Add files to the storyboard

With the storyboard open, click on + Add to Storyboard.

You have two options for sharing content:

• Presentation (documents)
