This page covers how to view, monitor, and manage your live streams from the Tenbyte dashboard.

Your Streams List

Navigate to Live Stream from the left sidebar to see all your streams in one place.
Live Streams Dashboard
Each stream shows the following at a glance:
ColumnDescription
NameThe label you gave the stream when creating it.
TypeThe stream type — Linear for 24/7 channels or Live Event for scheduled broadcasts.
ModeThe output mode — Video or Audio Only.
StatusThe current state of the stream.
Date CreatedWhen the stream was created.

Stream Statuses

StatusWhat it means
IdleThe stream is created and ready, but no encoder is connected or pushing a feed yet.
LiveThe stream is active and broadcasting to viewers.
StoppingThe stream is in the process of shutting down after the feed was disconnected.

Stream Actions

Click the three dots (⋮) at the end of any stream row to open the actions menu.
Stream Actions Menu

Stream Detail

Opens the stream’s full detail page where you can view ingest credentials, renditions, output URLs, and live preview.

Stream Restart

Restarts the stream worker. Use this if your stream is behaving unexpectedly — for example, if the encoder is connected but the stream is not coming through properly.

Stream Stop

Stops the stream and disconnects any active encoder feed. The stream will return to Idle status after stopping.

Stream Delete

Permanently deletes the stream and all its configuration. This action cannot be undone.
Deleting a stream removes its ingest credentials and output URLs permanently. Any encoder or player pointing to those endpoints will stop working immediately.

Stream Detail Page

Click on any stream name, or select Stream Detail from the actions menu, to open its detail page.
Stream Detail Page
The detail page is split into two panels: Left panel
  • Preview player — Shows a live preview of your stream. Displays “Ready to stream” when idle and updates automatically once a feed is received.
  • Renditions — Lists all active encode rungs with their real-time bitrate usage and peak values.
Right panel
  • Stream ID — The unique identifier for this stream. Use this in API calls and CDN distribution setup.
  • Type & Protocols — Confirms the stream type and output delivery format (HLS / DASH).
  • Ingest — Shows the ingest mode (Push or Pull) along with the stream keys or source URL.
  • Output Origin URLs — The raw HLS or DASH origin endpoints for CDN distribution setup.
  • Webhook — Shows the configured webhook endpoint, or Not configured if none was set.
Output origin URLs are for CDN distribution setup only — never embed them directly in players. Always use a CDN delivery URL for viewer playback.
