Schedule an event, its countdown and its timezone

An event’s start and end times drive everything else: the countdown, the moment the player appears, the reminders, the end of the broadcast and the replay. Getting the times right on your platform’s own clock is the most important thing you do when you schedule.

Times run on your platform’s clock

Your platform has one timezone, chosen from 31 in Studio → System → Settings → Locale → Region. Every start and end time you type is read on that clock, whatever timezone your browser or your viewers are in.

1. 1
   Open the Schedule card

   Open the event from Studio → Content → Events and find Schedule.

2. 2
   Enter start and end

   Pick Start date & time and End date & time on your platform’s clock. The end must be after the start.

3. 3
   Allow for overruns

   Set the end time past the latest the broadcast could run, including overtime or extra innings.

4. 4
   Label and save

   Choose a Timezone label or None, then click SAVE CHANGES.
