A web preset defines video and audio settings used for video transcoding when broadcasting content to a web destination. It ensures that video and audio feeds from an encoder are optimized for playback on different platforms. When setting up a live stream, selecting the right web preset determines how the content will be processed and delivered.
Web presets can be customized based on specific streaming requirements. Whether streaming to social media, a website, or another online platform, configuring presets helps match the encoding settings to the destination’s needs. They also allow broadcasters to maintain consistency across recurring live streams without having to manually adjust settings each time.

Creating a New Web Preset
Setting up a web preset requires selecting video and audio channel settings that align with the intended broadcast destination. This process ensures the correct formatting for playback on different platforms.
To create a new web preset in Resi Studio, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Settings > Web Presets in Resi Studio.
- Click the Add Web Preset button in the top corner of the page.
- Configure the following settings:
- Web Preset Name: Assign a descriptive name, such as “Social Media Only” or “Website Stream.”
- Encoder Video Channel: Select the video channel that will be used for the feed. Dual-channel setups may require selecting Ch2 for specific content needs.
- Audio Channels (Left and Right): Choose up to two audio channels for stereo or mono output.
- Deinterlace to Progressive: Enable this option if the encoder outputs interlaced content. This converts the video to a progressive format, preventing compatibility issues on some web platforms.
- Click Add to save the preset.

Editing a Web Preset
Adjusting an existing web preset applies changes to all future broadcasts using that preset. If the preset is part of a recurring schedule, any modifications will affect all upcoming events in that schedule.
To edit a web preset:
- Navigate to Settings > Web Presets in Resi Studio.
- Click on the preset that needs adjustments.
- Select the edit icon.
- Modify video, audio channel, or transcoding settings as needed.
- Click Save to apply changes.
For one-time adjustments, changes should be undone after the event to prevent unintended modifications in future broadcasts.
Removing a Web Preset
Deleting a web preset removes it from all future scheduled events. If a preset is currently assigned to an event, the system will default to a standard preset. Before removing a preset, check which events may be affected and update their settings accordingly.
To remove a web preset:
- Navigate to Settings > Web Presets in Resi Studio.
- Click the actions icon next to the preset.
- Select Remove from the drop-down menu.
- Confirm by clicking Remove on the pop-up message.
If an event is scheduled with a deleted preset, verify that the default settings meet the required video transcoding and audio channel specifications.For more information on managing live streaming configurations, visit Resi’s streaming technology page.
