# Configure in-band metadata in input stream

To configure in-band metadata input stream, follow these steps:

> **Info:** In our example, we consider that you have selected an MPEG-2 TS input.

1. From the **Input** tab, go to the **Input streams selection** > **Metadata ID** section then click the **Add** button. The **Metadata selection** window displays.

2. Select a [**Type**](/beam/live-encoder/parameters/input/metadata#in-band-metadata).

3. Enter or select the following information depending on the selected type:

1. Enter a [**PID**](/beam/live-encoder/parameters/input/metadata#in-band-metadata).
   2. If you selected **SCTE-35** type, you can apply a **Delay**.
   3. If you selected **Cuetones** type, select the audio source that you previously created.

4. Click **Ok** to save.

- The in-band metadata stream is added to the list of metadata.
   - The in-band metadata is automatically added to the **Encoding** tab.

5. Click **Save and continue** or **Save and exit** to save your changes.

- You can [configure the metadata encoding](/beam/live-encoder/configure/encoding/metadata-encoding).
- You can [add the metadata to the output stream](/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/configure-output#define-the-output-stream-composition).
