# Create channel

Available in Classic and VPC

Create a VOD2LIVE channel. VOD2LIVE is a feature that allows you to utilize a recorded file as the streaming source for a live broadcast. You can go live within 14 days of the current time, and you can stream multiple files up to 24 hours in advance. You can utilize this feature to organize your live broadcast with pre-prepared footage.

              Note

              

The creation options for VOD2LIVE channels are the same as for general live channels, so see [Create channel](/docs/en/media-livestation-channel-channelcreate) in Channel Management for more information.
