Foveo allows you to integrate videos directly into a live stream broadcast (by pausing the live camera feed).
This is a helpful feature when ceremonies have two or more parts (and you need to move your camera) or a family requests a video be played during the ceremony. You can also play a video at the end of a broadcast, and some funeral homes play a welcome video before each broadcast begins.
Go Live!
Start the live broadcast from the Director Panel (Fig. 1.1 below) by clicking Go Live > Immediately (Fig. 1.2). You will note there is 20-second delay between your live Camera view with audio and the video-only Broadcast player view on the right (Fig. 1.3).
To play a video (and resume the live broadcast at any point):
a. Click the Pause Broadcast button under the Broadcast player
b. Click on the Title of the video you wish to play from those you uploaded earlier to the Videos Panel (Fig 1.2).
Notes: A Resume Broadcast button will appear (replacing the Pause Broadcast button), and your selected video will play for guests (there is always a 20-second delay in the Broadcast viewer). If a Resume Broadcast button does not appear, simply refresh your browser.
To resume streaming from the live camera:
a. Click the Resume Broadcast button. The Pause Broadcast button will reappear.
b. The Broadcast player will resume showing your live camera (after the standard 20-second delay).
If the Resume button is not visible OR you cannot see the Broadcast view or live camera view, simply refresh your browser.

Helpful Tips
Button Behaviors
1. Go Live > Play {"Video Filename"}
Playing a video to start the Broadcast: The video will play once for online guests and then automatically present the live camera view once it has ended.
Note: It is important to ensure you have enough time to play the whole video because the live stream broadcast will not begin until a video played at the very start has finished playing. To get around this, first Go Live > Immediately, and then, once the broadcast has appeared in the Broadcast player, click the Pause Broadcast button and select the video to play: Play {video file name}.
2. Pause Broadcast & Resume Broadcast
Playing a video during a Break or Transition: The video will play on a loop until the live broadcast is manually resumed (at any time) with the Resume Broadcast button.
3. End Broadcast
At the Conclusion of a Ceremony: The video will play once for guests and the broadcast will end automatically when that video ends.
