Edit Channel

Opening a channel from your list shows the same core fields as Add Channel, with a few extra actions for an existing channel:

Channel parameters

Channels power a dedicated TV URL at https://human-input.live/your-code so you can run rotating slides (custom messages), themes, and optional Spotify playback outside of a single scheduled show. Fields in the popup:

  • Name — Label for this channel in your list (required).
  • Code — Short code (up to 15 characters) used in the public URL. It must be unique; the form will indicate if a code is already taken (required).
  • Venue — Optionally tie the channel to one of your venues, or leave as None.
  • TV Theme — Light or dark styling for the TV display.
  • Slides — Count of custom-message slides. Use Edit Slides to add, remove, or reorder image/video slides (similar to custom messages on a show).
  • Change Slides Every — How long each slide appears. The minimum total cycle time is 10 seconds (combined minutes and seconds).
  • Spotify Playlist URI — Optional playlist to drive background audio on the channel TV experience when configured.

For show-specific TV behavior (messaging, performing, voting modes), see TV and Run Show.

Reset

tells the system to end any active TV takeovers for this channel and reset that state (you will see a confirmation when it completes).

Copy

switches you into a flow like adding a new channel: your current field values and slides are carried over, but you must choose a new code (and save) to create a separate channel.

Delete or stop sharing

If you own the channel, removes it. If someone shared the channel with you, removes your access instead of deleting the owner's channel.

Permissions

If you do not have edit permission, fields are read-only and you will see a message that you cannot edit this channel.
