Create a live TV-like experience by turning any playlist into a continuous, linear stream. This feature allows viewers to join content already in progress—just like a live channel.
🧭 Overview
The Simulate Live Stream behavior transforms a playlist into a live-style experience where:
- Content plays continuously in order
- Viewers join “in progress” (no restarting from the beginning)
- The experience mimics a FAST / linear channel
You can apply this to:
- A playlist within a section
- A playlist used as a section
Step 1: Navigate to Sections
Go to your Sections page in Apps Creator.
Locate the playlist you want to configure.
Step 2: Open the Options Menu
Click the three dots (⋮) on the right side of the playlist.
This opens a dropdown menu.
Step 3: Select Behaviors
From the dropdown, click Behaviors.
This opens the Behaviors configuration screen.
Step 4: Add a New Behavior
Click the ➕ (plus icon) in the top right corner.
This allows you to create a new behavior rule.
Step 5: Enable Simulate Live Stream
In the behavior settings:
Toggle Simulate Live Stream → ON
Click Save.
Make sure the Toggle option under Actions is on and close
