Publish video content to more platforms.

Publish your MRSS feeds to Vimeo, one of the largest video platforms for hosting, sharing, and streaming.

  • Connect Vimeo and MAZ

Connect Vimeo and MAZ

Navigate to Content > Channels and scroll to Vimeo; flip the switch on. Then select Setup. From here, select Connect Vimeo. You will be led to externally log in and grant MAZ access, then automatically back to MAZ.

 

Now, Vimeo and MAZ are connected.

 

Select or create a feed 

From Content > Channels > Vimeo, select Feeds. Select +Feed, and then select a feed from the Input Library. You can create a custom feed just for Vimeo by using Feed Builder.

Select or create a feed 

From Content > Channels > YouTube, select Feeds. Select +Feed, and then select a feed from the Input Library. You can create a custom feed just for Youtube by using Feed Builder.

 

Note: Since Youtube doesn't support posting m3u8 videos, posting such videos from the MAZ dashboard to YouTube also doesn't work. Since Vimeo and JWPlayer also give us m3u8 videos, those feeds cannot be added to the YouTube channel.
