Featured Update
Social Media Event Scheduling
With this latest update, we are pleased to announce a feature that many have requested: The ability to schedule social media events prior to going live. That's right! Now, using our API outputs to social media, you can announce to your viewers that there's a stream coming anywhere between 1 day and 1 week away.
This feature is easily triggered and customized from the event itself by selecting the little icon on the top right of the output on the Streaming tab. You can also automate this process through the Channel Stream defaults, and information entered within the Sardius Control Panel calendar will carry over to the respective social media platforms.
In addition, if you want to see how many events are pre-scheduled, you can easily access that by selecting the output in the Outputs field of the Control Panel.

Pending Events
A new feature for this update is our Pending Events, which is quite helpful if you have multiple departments within your organization or users who want to stream an event but don't have access to the Sardius Control Panel.
The Pending Events feature allows an administrator to create a submission form that can be posted externally, like a separate webpage, where someone looking to create an event can fill out a quick form requesting to add an event to the calendar.
The submission is sent to an admin who will review it and then will have a choice to approve or deny the request.

Assets
Importing an asset from a link looks a little different now. Those who are familiar with importing an asset, such as from a public URL, will no longer have to wonder about the progress bar when importing a file. Previously, the bar would jump from 25% to 50% to 100%. With this update, the progress bar gives a more granular progression.
If you have any questions about these updates or would like to request a demo of a feature, please reach out to your Sardius Account Manager.
