Introduction
The NextGen Live Task Scheduler runs API operations on your behalf at scheduled times. You can schedule:
- Job start/stop: automatically start and stop a live channel
- Clip generation: create a VOD clip from a live channel at a future time
Schedules can be created in the Control Room or through the Live API v2 scheduler endpoints.
