Welcome to SnapStream! To starting using your SnapStream TV appliance, connect to the SnapStream Web Interface. This
interface is like a website hosted by The SnapStream TV Appliance
itself. In a SnapStream cluster, the web interface will be hosted on the
master node.
To
access the web interface, enter the name or IP address of your SnapStream system (or the master
node, if you have more than one) into the address bar of any web browser. You will be prompted to
log in to SnapStream.
Log
in with the username and password provided on hard-copy documentation
with your server. The default credentials will have permission to access
to all of the web interface, including system settings. For information
on creating user accounts with limited permissions, see the Users and Groups page.
