Editing a channel

Edit a channel's description for easier identification later.

You can edit the description on a channel or enable Amazon CloudFront distribution creation from the AWS Elemental MediaPackage console.

Note

To make changes to an existing distribution (even if it was created from MediaPackage), go to the Amazon CloudFront console.

You can use the MediaPackage console, the AWS CLI, or the MediaPackage API to edit a channel. For information about editing a channel through the AWS CLI or MediaPackage API, see the AWS Elemental MediaPackage API Reference.

When you're editing a channel, don't put sensitive identifying information like customer account numbers into free-form fields such as the Name field. This includes when you work with MediaPackage using the MediaPackage console, MediaPackage API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into MediaPackage might get picked up for inclusion in diagnostic logs or Amazon CloudWatch Events.

To edit a channel (console)

1. Open the MediaPackage console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediapackage/.

2. If the Channels page doesn't appear, on the MediaPackage home page, choose Skip and go to console.

3. On the Channels page, choose the name of the channel that you want to edit.

4. On the channel's details page, choose Edit.

5. Make the changes that you want.

6. Choose Update.
