VideoHub360 Core Video Options Guide

Applies to: Current VideoHub360 theme package

Open Core Settings

Go to VideoHub360 → Settings. Core settings control platform playback, video archives, livestream viewing, chat, Agora credentials, YouTube auto-broadcast, ended/offline states, and course features. Studio production and Studio recording presets are configured separately.

Advertising and Click-Through

Configure global pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll behavior, click-through destinations, click targets, and click tracking. Individual videos can override supported ad URLs and click destinations. Test each ad position independently.

URLs, Archive, and Single-Video Display

Configure the video and taxonomy slugs, archive title/header, archive filters, card behavior, and single-video defaults. Save Settings → Permalinks after changing a slug.

Core single-video display settings are separate from the theme’s general page/post sidebar controls.

Agora.io Settings

Save the Agora App ID and App Certificate used by Studio and compatible interactive/live features. Token security should remain enabled for production. Use HTTPS and test with separate host and viewer accounts.

YouTube Live Auto-Broadcast

Configure the YouTube channel/API workflow, detection mode, schedule, status behavior, and error handling in the dedicated YouTube Live section. This is an external YouTube-source workflow and is separate from Studio.

Chat and Interactive Live

Configure global chat enablement, default placement, polling/display behavior, moderation-related settings, and interactive join rules. The current default chat-placement preference is popup unless the administrator selects another value.

Per-video chat settings can override supported global behavior. Passcode participation and open-host participation should not be configured as conflicting access methods.

Playback Quality and Viewer Settings

Core quality settings affect playback and supported live/viewer presentation. They do not change the Studio recording preset. Studio’s High 1080p, Standard 720p, and Small 480p presets are controlled in the Studio session setup.

Offline and Ended Messages

Configure the default offline and stream-ended HTML/icon settings for normal live posts and Live Rooms. Studio-recorded broadcasts can show an ended/processing state while a replay provider prepares the file, then switch the original livestream post to replay playback when ready.

Course Features

Enable Course / Lesson Mode and configure course terminology and related platform behavior. Course ownership, enrollment, product mapping, and membership entitlement are covered in the Course Features guide.

Per-Video Options

Administrators editing a VideoHub360 post can configure VOD source data, advertising overrides, quality/mirror settings, live status, chat overrides, and advanced livestream metadata. Treat manual livestream source fields as advanced or compatibility settings. New platform broadcasts should normally be created in Studio.

Test Core Settings

Test a normal VOD, a Studio livestream/replay, an interactive viewer, archive filters, ads, chat, ended state, and mobile playback. Use a non-administrator account for access testing.
