Our live platform supports DVR (Digital Video Recorder), which allows viewers to rewind (and fast-forward) through live content as it’s streaming. This feature is useful for viewers who missed a specific part of the live stream or would like to rewatch certain parts.

Clicking the “live” icon in the control bar will return the viewer back to the live stream.
