Live Streaming & Premieres

Live DVR

Also called: DVR, rewind live

You will find the toggle under additional settings in the stream dashboard. With DVR on, a viewer can pause, rewind to something they missed and resume from where they stopped, though nobody can seek back past the moment you went live. Rewind gets limited on streams running beyond twelve hours and on some TV and casting setups.

Switching it off holds everyone at the live edge, which suits sports, results reveals and anything a spoiler would ruin. The full recording still appears afterwards either way, so turning DVR off protects the moment rather than the video.
