Create a Transcode Profile

Transcode profiles allow you to define specific settings for video and audio transcoding, ensuring that your content is delivered in the desired quality and format. These profiles are reusable across both live streams and on-demand streams.

In the Streav Dashboard, select Settings from the menu bar and then choose Transcode Profiles.
