Some broadcasters may not run their station in a 24/7 format, such as schools hosting sporting events or churches holding weekly broadcasts. Live365 has the ability to stop your station to avoid accumulating listener hours when no content is broadcasting.
First, make sure you are editing the station where you want to make these changes. Highlight and click the station name to select it. If you are unfamiliar with how to navigate this part of Live365, please see this help article which describes dashboard navigation.
Once you have selected the appropriate station, you will be taken to that Station's Menu page. From this page, you will be able to navigate and make changes and adjustments to your station.
To temporarily disconnect or reconnect your station, please follow the steps below:
- Login to your Live365 Dashboard and select your station.
- Navigate to Station Settings in the left side menu.
- Select Station Status.
- Use the Disconnect Station or Reconnect Station button to manage your station's status.
Note: The process of reconnecting your station is not instant. It may take a few minutes for your station to resume broadcasting from a disconnected state. You can monitor your station status from the Overview screen, or by previewing your stream through any Live365 player.
