Scheduling Modes

The Production Studio gives you four ways to fill your channel's schedule. Switch between Custom, Instant Schedule, Autopilot, and Loop Daily depending on how much control or automation you want.

Custom Schedule

The default, fully manual mode. Hover over a video in your library and click the + button, then choose an exact start time and date to place it on the calendar. Use Custom Schedule when you want a precisely curated lineup — specific shows at specific times, planned days or weeks ahead.

Instant Schedule

Click the Instant Schedule button and Strimm immediately fills your schedule from your video library, placing videos back-to-back starting from the current time. Use it when you need your channel on air right now with no manual setup.

Autopilot

Autopilot is a toggle. When turned on, Strimm automatically creates a fresh random schedule for your channel every day, so your lineup always has new content without any manual work. Turn it off to return to manual scheduling.

Loop Daily

Loop Daily is a toggle. When turned on, Strimm repeats your current day's schedule every day — the same lineup, in the same order, on repeat. Ideal for channels with a fixed programming block you want to air continuously.
