Wait for conversion

After upload, Loopify Engine automatically converts your video. You can see real-time progress directly on the video card — no page refresh needed.

Video is ready

Once converted, the video card shows a green Ready badge. You can now assign this video to any stream and go live.

<strong>Tip:</strong> You can upload multiple videos and loop them one after another in your stream.

Click the Start button on your stream card. Loopify connects to YouTube and begins streaming within seconds. Your video loops 24/7 automatically.

<strong>You can close your browser.</strong> Loopify runs on our servers 24/7 — your stream continues automatically.

Loopify Guardian watches your stream

Loopify Guardian monitors running streams, automatically reconnects after recoverable disconnects, and proactively refreshes long-running YouTube sessions to reduce avoidable interruptions. If repeated failures require your input, Loopify stops retry escalation safely and shows that the stream needs attention.

<strong>Automatic recovery:</strong> Guardian detects interruptions and restores eligible streams automatically. If repeated failures need your input, Loopify shows a clear Needs attention state and can alert you.

Stream cards overview

Each stream card shows its current status, uptime and playlist. Pro and higher plans can also see the stream’s assigned dedicated IP; lower plans receive network isolation without exposing the address in the UI.

Start / Stop streams

Use the Start and Stop buttons on each card. Starting takes a few seconds — Loopify connects to YouTube and begins looping your video immediately.

<strong>Stopping a stream</strong> ends the broadcast on YouTube. Viewers will see the stream as ended. You can restart it anytime.
3

Edit the playlist while live

On streams using the Live Playlist engine, you can add, remove or drag videos into a new order without stopping the YouTube connection. The current video finishes first, then the next transition uses the updated playlist.

<strong>Safe live changes:</strong> Loopify keeps at least one video in a live playlist and applies changes at a video boundary instead of cutting the current item in the middle.
4

Schedule when you need it

Paid plans can start and stop streams automatically at chosen times. Use one-time or recurring schedules when your channel does not need to stay live continuously.

<strong>Keep it simple:</strong> For a true 24/7 stream, no schedule is required — leave scheduling off and Guardian will continue protecting the stream.
5

Per-stream network isolation

Loopify assigns a stable per-stream IPv6 when the server network supports it. If an address cannot be assigned, streaming falls back safely to the default server connection instead of failing to start.

<strong>Visibility:</strong> Pro and higher plans can see the dedicated address in the Dashboard. The networking layer itself remains automatic.

Add-ons

Need more capacity without changing your base plan? Available add-ons are shown with their current price directly on the Subscription page, so the billing UI remains the source of truth.

<strong>No guessing:</strong> Stream and storage add-on prices are loaded from the current plan configuration rather than hard-coded into this guide.

Free Trial

New eligible accounts get a 3-day free trial with 1 stream, 5 GB storage, and up to 6 hours of actual streaming time. No credit card required. Scheduling is available after upgrading.

<strong>Trial expires in 3 days.</strong> Upgrade before expiry to keep your streams running without interruption.
