Learn how to navigate the Live365 interface and understand the information displayed on the top-level view. You can see how much TLH you have used, how much storage space you have left, how many people are currently listening, and how to manage your stations and DJs.


There are two primary views of the Live365 software: A "Station Management" view and a "Station Dashboard" view. In this article, we'll walk you through both of them and their menu sidebars.


When you first log in to your Live365 Broadcaster account, you will be placed on the Station Management page (also referred to as the "Account Menu"). The functions of having multiple stations and users associated with a main admin account is a new concept to the Live365 platform, and is being introduced with the Blue Bossa Nova release. You can tell that you are in the Station Management view because the first sidebar item is Stations, and there is a dark purple color to the sidebar.


Your Station Management Dashboard lets you control admin level aspects of your station(s), billing, and account settings. The sidebar on the left side enables you to enter each of these aspects of managing your Live365 account. The main screen of the Station Management view lists your station(s).


A key concept of the new Live365 Dashboard experience is that you can have a Live365 Broadcaster 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 one station as well as have manager access to another station while having limited editor access to a third station. These station access roles are explained in our Managing User Roles, Permissions and Invites article.


To enter into 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 Management screen at any time by clicking on the orange "View Account" link to the right of your user avatar.
