BeBop Sessions is a synchronous video review-and-approve feature of the BeBop platform. Users who receive a live Sessions link can access a web page that plays back live-streamed video from a BeBop workstation.
BeBop Session links, generated on the Session tab of the BeBop Workstations Dashboard, allow users to access real-time review-and-approval functionality on BeBop. Users who are broadcasting a video stream using BeBop Sessions can create a live broadcast link. This generates a custom URL and unique viewing code which can then be shared with reviewers so that they can access the live stream via a supported web browser.
Google Chrome is the preferred web browser.
To start a BeBop Sessions follow the steps below:
1. Select the "Sessions" tab from the BeBop Workstations Dashboard.
***If you don't see the Cast tab on your BeBop Workstations Dashboard it is not enabled for your user. Contact your OrgAdmin to enable BeBop Sessions permissions.
