Create a Portal

Creating different Portals in VIDIZMO allows you to provide a single installation of dedicated multi-tenant portals, with complete media and user segregation that provides portal-level autonomy for defining all portal management policies, branding, streaming, etc. to meet department-specific privacy, security and compliance needs.

  • You must have Portal Management permissions
  • Your account must have available portal slots (based on your subscription plan)
