Production Details
Next up is choosing how you want to produce the broadcast.
There are two options:
Production Recipe: A great tool for streamlining your scheduling. It is a preset configuration that defines the visual and operational elements of a broadcast, including production level, storyboard, graphic package, and overlays.
Manual Customization: A great tool if your productions vary. Here, you'll pick production level, storyboard, and assets individually.
💡 Please note: Production Recipes are available for Spiideo Play Pro accounts.
