On behalf of our hard-working developers and product designers, we would like to welcome you to the Media Cloud! A new era in multi-platform publishing has begun, and with it, a long and intensive roadmap of releases of new features for years to come. We would like to invite you to join us on this journey today. Simply go to mediacloud.lightcast.com and sign in with your Lightcast username and password (we recommend Google Chrome's browser for best user experience). You will find all your content from your Lightcast Control Center populated and ready to be managed through the Media Cloud. Moving forward you will have the choice to manage your content and multi-platform publishing through the Classic Control Center, or through the new Media Cloud. You can switch between both at any time. All your changes and uploads will be updated on both interfaces in realtime.
Have fun exploring all the new toys and capabilities of your Media Cloud Account, such as Workflow Presets to automate your frequent workflows, a new Subtitle Manager, Platforms Overview, App Manager, Media Groups and Sub Channel Structures, new Channel and Watermarks Manager, and many other new features.
Make sure to sign in and use the Media Cloud regularly as new features will be released monthly, sometimes even weekly, including real-time app builders, new drag-and-drop schedulers for cloud-based payout of linear streams, new cloud-editing tools for live-recordings, more tools to manage your monetization setup, integration of the new analytics pro suite with behavioral data, subscriber activity tracking and in-depth data on your viewership.
We are looking forward to receiving your feedback and inputs on what you like, and what you think we should release next. This way you can influence the roadmap and order in which new features are released. Let’s make this the best Media Management System for OTT and Multi-Platform Distribution together.
