Click Menu → Home to display the Groups UI in the Streaming Services Web application.

Your organization's Group(s) will be displayed on the top bar.

  1. Select a Group.

    1. If you see the Getting Started message, this means that your Group does not currently have any Sources (Stream enabled desktop applications) opened.

    2. If Sources have not yet been added to your Group, you will also see the Getting Started message.
      Click the “+” green circle to add a new Source system to the Group. Follow the “Adding a Source to Streaming Service” instructions below.

Adding a Source to Streaming Service Web

Sources are PCs on your network that have SubC Stream enabled desktop applications installed, such as SubC Stream, Blackbox or DVR+Ov7 / SCI desktop applications.

In the SubC Streaming Service web application, click the green “+” button to generate an Activation code to add a system running a streaming enabled SubC Stream desktop application to the current SubC Streaming Service Group.

The following “Link to Group” window will appear displaying the current Group (i.e., “SubC Development”)

  1. Open your Stream enabled desktop application on your PC.

  2. A unique Activation code is generated that is to be applied in the Stream enabled desktop application to join the SubC Streaming Service Group.
    See FAQ: Activate a New PC in SubC Stream.

  3. Once the Activation code is applied to Stream enabled desktop application, refresh the Streaming Service Web application page, then you will see and can remotely interact with the PC running the Stream enabled desktop application.

Remote Control Stream Desktop Systems
