Mini-player Switch When the mini-player is used, the video player shrinks to the corner of the browser, allowing you to continue watching while browsing other Cloudica™ modules. The mini-player stays on top of other module dashboards.

How to filter Streams Player by date

The Date Picker allows you to access past streams. To do this, follow the steps below:

Use the Navigation Buttons

Click the left arrow to go to the previous date.
Click the right arrow to go to the next date.

Use the Calendar

Click the Date Picker button to open the calendar.
Click the left arrow to go to the previous month or click the right arrow to go to the next month.
Select a date with a blue color.

Note that dates in the Calendar with stored data are clickable (blue), while dates without stored data are not (black).

Once a date is selected, the Stream will display the data for that date.

Filters like the Team Filter can be used in congruence with the Date Picker.

How to filter Streams Player by user

If you only want to view the data of a specific user in the Stream, do the following:

Click the Search bar and type in the name of the user in the input box.
Matching results will be displayed in the results container and on the Online Users List.
Click the user you want to view in the search result container.

The Stream will now only display the feeds of the selected user.

When using User Search in the Stream, other filters cannot be used simultaneously. To remove the User filter, click the back arrow in the search bar or clear the name from the bar.
