You can link 'external content' from your back office to make it available on your platform.




What is external content?

External content is content that is not encoded and stored on your back office (it does not consume your encoding package) but it allows you to add an external player to OKAST on your platform.



To create this type of content, go to CATALOG> External strams.


The two types of content: STREAM or EXTERNAL


1. Either a linear video like a television channel.
