How to Use Streams in the Live Feed Module

Streams let you review user activities in a video-style format, making it easier to monitor work patterns and assess daily performance. This feature is especially helpful for team leads, managers, and HR personnel looking to understand how users engage with their tasks throughout the day.

Where to Access Streams

In the Live Feed module, you’ll find the Streams section above the "My Timeline" area. It includes two blue buttons:

1. Streams Ongoing

for real-time activity of currently logged-in users.
Also known as the Live Streams Player.

2. Streams Ended

for recorded feeds from users who have logged out or been disconnected.
Also referred to as the Streams Player.

Each button displays a counter to show the number of available streams.

Ongoing Streams (Live Streams Player)

What Are Ongoing Streams?

These are real-time streams from users currently online and actively using the Cloudica™ Desktop App. The "Streams Ongoing" button only appears when at least one user is online.

Also called the Live Streams Player, this view provides a live playback of user activity as it happens.
