API Key & Service Account

Your tenant has an API key and a service account password used for integrating with external tools like Playout OBS and the Content Manifest API.

API credentials

API key. For security, the full key is shown only once — at the moment you generate it. Copy it then and store it in a safe place (a password manager or your integration's secret store); afterwards only a short identifying prefix is displayed.

  • Click the generate button to create your tenant's API key
  • Click Regenerate API key to replace it — the old key stops working immediately, and every integration using it must be updated
  • Lost the key? There is no way to view it again — regenerate it

Keys created before the show-once change remain viewable with Reveal/Copy until you regenerate them.

Service account password.

  • Click Reveal to show the credential
  • Click Copy to clipboard to copy it
  • Click Hide to conceal it again

WARNING

Treat these credentials as secrets. Do not share them publicly.

FeatureDescriptionDefault

Playout OBSOBS integration and telemetryoff

TIP

Disabled features are hidden from the sidebar for all users in your tenant.

WARNING

The Streaming feature can only be activated by the Playout team. Contact us at contact@playout.studio to get access.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Customize which keys drive song control during an event. Each action can be triggered by several keys, so you can keep the arrow keys and add the keys your presenter remote emits.

ActionDefault keys
Next verse / slide PgDn
Previous verse / slide PgUp

To add a key, click Add key next to an action and press the key you want to bind — press Esc to cancel. A key can only belong to one action, and each action always keeps at least one key. Reset to defaults restores the original bindings.

Shortcuts apply to everyone in your tenant, and the hints shown on the song control buttons update to match your configuration.

TIP

Esc, Enter, Tab, and Space cannot be rebound — they keep their standard behavior (closing dialogs, submitting forms, and moving focus) everywhere in the app.
