# Set up a Webcast

## Setting up a Webcast

To configure a webcast, follow the steps below.

1. In the navigation panel, click "Webcast". In the editing area, you will see a list of all previously created webcasts. ![](https://doc.movingimage.com/download/attachments/5079558/Screenshot%202019-04-15%20at%2017.13.21.png?version=1&modificationDate=1555341404000&api=v2)
2. Click the [Create] button to open a form.
  - You also have the option to [Quick Create a Webcast](/v1/docs/quick-create-a-webcast)

You should only create a unique Webcast for each event. If you reuse an already created Webcast for a new event with an activated DVR, the DVR of the events will be corrupted and therefore not be usable.

1. If defaults have been defined under the *Theme, VideoManager* and/or *Streaming Server* menu items, the appearance of the form will change, as these defaults are automatically applied to the new Webcast. At it's simplest, you need only enter an **Event Name** and save the configuration. ![](https://doc.movingimage.com/download/attachments/5079558/Screenshot%202018-12-19%20at%2013.44.37.png?version=1&modificationDate=1545223485000&api=v2)
2. Now perform the configuration for each status. described in the following chapters.

Fields marked with "*" are required information and a selection must be made for each status (Pre-live, Live, and Post-live). Also note that the On Demand settings can be found in the [Languages](/v1/docs/languages) tab.
