Core TV: Sharing a Workspace from Core

Updated: June 8, 2021

While on set, you may need to share your footage with off-set crew members or clients. Core's video-sharing solution allows anyone to view live video from your Core workspace on any web browser or iOS device running the Core TV app, even if they don't have a Core account.

Sharing video from Core requires these three easy steps:

                              1.  Add an encoder to your Core workspace.
                              2.  Share the workspace via email, SMS, or link.
                              3.  Access the stream with the Core TV app or web browser.

Below are detailed instructions on how to share and view multiple workspaces from your Core account.

NOTE: VidiU Go has technical limitations that prevent it from being shared using Core.

Workspaces allow you to compile and share several different streams from multiple encoders all at once.

2. Click on the Core TV button on the left, then click the Share button.
