Video Channel Management in Hub Sessions – Catapult Pro Video

Focus provides full control over adding, removing, uploading, downloading, and managing local media for each video channel within a Hub session.

Video channels in Hub sessions can be in one of the following states, displayed in the Channel Chooser:

	Streamed from Hub The video is streamed directly from the Hub No local copy of the video exists on your device
	Cached Locally (Matches Hub) The video is cached locally on your device
	Cached Locally (Different from Hub) The local video is cached locally on your device but different from the Hub version This often happens when the Reuse local media for local cache option is selected when re-uploading a session package exported from a remote client after a live session (containing local recordings) While usually fine (small sync differences may exist), you can: Delete local media and explicitly download the Hub version of the media, or Upload your local media to update the Hub version
	Not Uploaded to Hub The video channel exists only locally and hasn’t been uploaded to the Hub Common when you added a new channel to the session and cancelled the upload of that channel
	Cached Locally (Unknown Match) The video is cached locally, but Focus couldn’t confirm whether it's the same as the Hub version You may want to recheck or re-upload/download to resolve the uncertainty
	Scanning Local Files Focus is currently scanning your local files to check if they match the Hub version
	Uploading to Hub The video channel is in the process of being uploaded to the Hub
	Status Unknown Focus could not determine the channel’s status

Go to Channels > Add Channel
The new channel is added to the session and upload starts automatically
If you cancel the upload or close Focus before it finishes, the channel will:
- Remain in your session
- Not be visible to other users on the Hub

Go to Channels > Remove Channel
In the Channel Chooser, click the bin icon next to the channel you want to delete
Confirm by clicking OK
Click Exit Channel Removal when you're done
This will completely delete the channel from the Hub session, including:
- Local video files
- Video stored in the Hub

Go to Channels > Upload Hub Session Video
A list of channels will appear
Select the ones you want to upload and click Upload
Channels marked as "using different local media"
- Will not be pre-selected
- If selected, will replace the current Hub video with your local file

This will remove only the local video files; the Hub version of the video remains unaffected.
