Congratulations, you now have a Kinescope account! Not sure where to start? This quick guide will help you create a project and share your first media file - all in less than ten minutes!

Brief explanation about navigating the control panel

The Kinescope control panel interface consists of three key sections: Catalog, Live, and Analytics (located at the top left of the screen).

At the bottom left of the screen you will find a Support chat and a user center where you can switch the workspace, change its settings and your profile settings, and get useful information about your account, including billing and payment information.

<aside> 💡 By default, after logging in, you end up in the Workspace Catalog, which you were invited to or created when you registered. It is in the Catalog that all of your projects and media files are located.

When you first log into Kinescope, you already have a Demi project in your Catalog. Before you start, you can use it and rename or create a new project.

1. Creating a project

Before you can upload media files, you must create a project. You can create a project by clicking the Create a new project button in the center of the screen (or rename the Demo Project available after registering).

Or by clicking the ⊕ Create new project button at the top left of the menu.

1. Give your project a name.
2. If you need to protect the media files in your project from downloading, enable DRM encryption (more information on encryption can be found here: DRM file encryption)
3. Select the default player and specify where you can display your media files (Everywhere - player embedding is not limited, Nowhere - player is only available to you in the control panel, On the specified domains - player embedding is limited to the list of domains that you specify)
