Events exceeding 4 hours may not be fully captured. We always recommend recording a local archive. Keep in mind YouTube Video Editor only allows editing of videos 2 hours or less in length. - DVR
Allow viewers to pause and rewind your event. The DVR will display the most recent 4 hours of video. - Broadcast Delay
The broadcast delay (30s and 60s drop-down options) is the amount of delay between the stream you will see in the preview player in the Live Control Room and the stream your viewers will see. Introducing a delay allows insertion of ads in your live event. Even with no delay, you should expect the preview player to be up to one minute behind the video feed you are sending to YouTube.
