Is the transcoding amount included in packages a monthly/annual limit or is it the maximum transcoding we can use at any given time?

Your transcoding amount included in your Lightcast Service Package can be used at any give time, to any capacity. There is no monthly transcoding limit. You can upload and transcode as many files as you like and as your transcoding limit allows. 

The transcoding included with Lightcast Service Packages are among the highest in the industry. Over 80% of publishers never come close to exceeding their standard transcoding limits of their Service Packages

Should you still come close to having used all your included transcoding, you have the options to: 

1. Add more transcoding via your Lightcast Media Cloud: Watch how
2. Upgrade to a larger Lightcast service package. See our packages at  www.lightcast.com/packages .
