The Live365 desktop interface provides access to all the of tools needed to configure and manage your stations. Once a station is selected, the sidebar menu provides options to manage your stations and DJs. This guide explains how to select between stations and provides a brief explanation of the sidebar items.

 

To support the release of the interface and navigational changes, we created a brief video to walk you through what's different as of August 2024. 



When you first log in to your Live365 Dashboard account, you are placed on the Station Selection page. You can tell that you are in the Station Selection view because you can see all the stations that you have access to.


You must either own or manage a Live365 station, in order to see anything on this screen. If you don't yet own or manage a Live365 station, you are presented with a Create Station button that redirects you to the order process.


A key capability of the Live365 Broadcaster platform is that you can have a Live365 account, but not own any stations. You can use the Live365 software as a station owner, manager, or editor. You can be an owner of 1 station as well as have manager access to 2 other stations while having limited editor access to a 4th station. These station access roles are explained in our Managing User Roles, Permissions and Invites article.


To access a station, click on the station name or station logo. This will take you to the Station Dashboard for that individual station. You can return to the Station Selection screen at any time by clicking on the Live365 logo in the top right corner of the menu.


You can also directly switch between your stations by clicking the down arrow next to your station name:
