Creating a channel by cloning

Cloning lets you use an existing channel as the basis for a new channel. When you clone an existing channel, all sections of the Create channel page are populated with the data from the cloned channel, except for the following:

  • The input sections. These sections are always empty in the cloned channel.

  • The tags. There are no tags in the cloned channel.

You can edit the existing fields and complete the empty fields as needed.

You can clone a channel that is in the Channels list. (You can also clone a channel after choosing Create channel; for more information, see Creating a channel from a template.)

To create a channel by cloning (console)
  1. Open the MediaLive console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/medialive/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Channels.

  3. On the Channels page, choose the radio button next to the channel name.

  4. Choose Clone.

    The Create channel page appears with all the original data except for the inputs and the tags.

  5. Give the channel a new name and complete the input sections. Change other fields as needed. For more information, see Creating a channel from scratch.
