Priority stream states determine whether PlayIt Live will check for and activate incoming streams from remote presenters or outside broadcasts.

Closed - PlayIt Live will not check for connected streams and the priority stream will never go live. Use this state when you don't want the stream to be available at all.

Pre-Open - PlayIt Live will check for a connected stream but it will not go live. This is useful for ensuring a stream is loaded and buffered before it needs to take over the playout. The stream connects and buffers in the background, ready to go live when switched to Open state.

Open - PlayIt Live will actively check for a connected stream and if the stream is connected with valid audio above the silence threshold, it will go live and take over the current playout automatically.
