12. If audio is desired, scroll down and choose an audio source from the displayed list.
13. Click Save at the lower right corner of the page; the layout changes are saved.
Because this is a single-source channel with only one layout, the channel's name is updated
to display the source’s name next time you view the channel. Click the channel name to
refresh and view this if desired, if desired. If you wish to change a channel's name directly,
see Rename a channel.
Your channel is ready for basic streaming and recording.
By default (on a new channel), when the source doesn't have a 16:9 aspect ratio, the system
automatically detects the correct aspect ratio and updates the layout after you leave and return
to the layout editor screen. This happens because the encoding page has the Use current signal
resolution as frame size setting selected by default. If you want to change the aspect ratio for
your channel, see Configure encoding .
There are a lot of creative things you can do next with your channel, including creating more layouts and
editing this layout to add images and more sources. See
Create a custom channel .
Create a custom channel
Pearl has two styles of channels.
