Scheduling a Live Stream for a Specific Date & Time
If you need to play a live stream at a specific time on a specific day, you can do this using Kitcast’s scheduling feature:
- Create a separate playlist with the live stream link.
- Schedule the day and time you want it to play.
- (Optional) Set an expiration date for the playlist—this ensures the stream plays only at the designated time and then automatically disappears when it's no longer relevant.
This can be particularly useful for one-time events or scheduled live streams that should only be displayed within a certain timeframe.
