An IzzyCast Credit represents one minute of bandwidth for one user connected to an IzzyCast Session. Each user connected to an IzzyCast Session consumes one IzzyCast Credit per minute.
Checking Your IzzyCast Balance
Your IzzyCast Credit Balance is displayed on the IzzyCast Get It Page after you log in at the top right using your IzzyCast Account Key. When you purchase IzzyCast Credit Bundles, your IzzyCast Credit Balance will go up. While users are connected to an IzzyCast Session you have running, they will consume IzzyCast Credits and your IzzyCast Credit Balance will go down.
Within Isadora itself, the IzzyCast Create Session Isadora actor has outputs that display the IzzyCast Credit Balance, the number of connections, and the estimated IzzyCast Session time remaining so that the host can monitor this information live via a Control Panel.
Calculating Maximum IzzyCast Session Duration
Each user connected to an IzzyCast Session consumes one IzzyCast Credit per minute. If, for example you have 500 IzzyCast Credits, a host, and nine participants your maximum IzzyCast Session duration would be 50 minutes: 500 IzzyCast Credits ÷ 10 connections (host and nine participants) = 50 minutes; for a host and nineteen participants (twenty connections total), it would be 500 IzzyCast Credits ÷ 20 connections = 25 minutes, etc.
Within Isadora itself, the IzzyCast Create Session Isadora actor has an output that displays this estimated time remaining so that the host can monitor this information live via a Control Panel.
