You asked, and we rebuilt it. Rescheduling is officially back, and this time it’s built to save you the exact busywork that made everyone miss it in the first place. No more reuploading a video that hasn’t changed. No more retyping a description you already got right. No more reticking every destination one by one, hoping you didn’t forget one. Reschedule a prerecorded stream now, and OneStream Live pulls in everything from the original broadcast automatically. Stay with us to learn how the feature works, plus two details worth a second look before you hit confirm.

Key Takeaways:

  • Rescheduling a prerecorded stream reuses the original video, title, description and destinations, so you only pick a new date.
  • The Reschedule Broadcast option lives under the Completed tab in Streams, next to each finished broadcast’s destinations.
  • Toggle on Repeat Stream during scheduling to put recurring content, like weekly recaps or monthly training videos, on autopilot.
  • Two details still need a manual check before confirming: any date mentioned in the description, and any destinations added or removed since the last run.

Why Rescheduling Beats Starting Over

Rebuilding a broadcast means doing the same work twice for no reason. The video is already uploaded. The destinations are already picked. The title and description are already written. None of that changes just because the first run finished.

Retyping things also invites mistakes that a reused broadcast avoids entirely. A description gets reworded slightly and now says something different. A destination gets missed because nobody remembers all five were ticked last time. Reschedule the original and everything carries over exactly as it was, so the only thing you are actually doing is picking a new date.

This is most useful for anything you run on repeat. A weekly highlights reel, a looped service recording, a training video that goes out every month. Rescheduling puts it straight back on the calendar instead of making you rebuild it from scratch every single time.

Learn: How To Reschedule A Pre-recorded Stream

How to Reschedule a Pre-Recorded Stream

1

Open Your Completed Streams: Log in to OneStream Live and click Streams in the left panel. Open the Completed tab, where every broadcast that has already run is listed.

2

Find the Broadcast and Reschedule It: Locate the pre-recorded stream you want to run again. Hover over it and click the Reschedule Broadcast icon next to its destinations.

3

Confirm or Change the Video: The first step is Select Content. Your original video is already attached, so leave it as is if nothing has changed, or swap in a new one if you want to reuse the setup for different content. Click Continue.

4

Update the Stream Details: On Stream Details, the title, description and tags all carry over from the original broadcast. Edit anything that needs updating, such as a new date mentioned in the description, and click Continue.

5

Choose Your Destinations: Enable the platforms you want this run to go out to. They default to what was selected before, so you only need to touch this step if the list has changed. Click Continue.

6

Set the Date and Time: On Schedule Stream, choose whether it goes out immediately or At a specific time. If it repeats on a regular cycle, toggle on Repeat Stream so you are not doing this same process again next week.

7

Review and Confirm: Check the details one last time and click Schedule Broadcast. The stream moves to your Upcoming tab and will run automatically at the time you set.

Two Things Worth Checking Before You Confirm

Everything carrying over is the whole point of rescheduling, but two details are easy to miss because they carried over unchanged.

If your description mentions a date or anything time specific, it still says what it said the first time. Update it before you schedule, not after somebody points it out.

And if you have disconnected or added a platform since the original broadcast ran, the destinations list will not know that on its own. Give it a glance before confirming.
