Hello,

I’m very interested on the WSE and try it.

My question is: Is it possible (like on [livestream.com](http://livestream.com)) to “livestream” a video?

In livestream you can create a folder with a playlist.

That playlist will played at a fixed time and stop after that, like a autoplay function.

Is no playlist selected, he play online single video in a loop.

And it’s possible to set a fix label on the top right side of the player?

Thank you and sorry for my “bad” english.

Hi, you can use Stream class streams to publish live streams using static content by following this guide:

[How to do basic server-side publishing with Stream class streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-basic-server-side-publishing-with-stream-class-streams)

This module will loop a video until the live stream starts:

[How to loop a pre-roll until a live stream starts](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-loop-a-pre-roll-until-a-live-stream-starts-loopuntillive)

And you can use the Wowza Transcoder to add an graphical overlay to the stream:
