# Manage the output

## Add an output

You can create several outputs. To create an output you can either:

- [Create a new one](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/manage-output/#create-a-new-output-from-scratch).
- [Duplicate an existing one](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/manage-output/#duplicate-an-existing-output).

### Create a new output from scratch

When connecting for the first time or if you want to add an output, you can create a new one from scratch.

To create an output, follow these steps:

1. From the **Output** tab, click the **Add** button. A new output section is created.
2. [Edit the output](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/manage-output/#edit-an-output).
3. Click **Ok** to save your changes. The new output is added in the output tab.

### Duplicate an existing output

You can create an output by duplicating an existing one.

To duplicate an output, follow these steps:

1. Click the duplicate icon  in the top right corner of the reference output. A new output section is created with the same parameters as the reference output.
2. If needed, you can [edit the output](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/manage-output/#edit-an-output)
3. Click **Ok** to save your changes. The new output is added in the output tab.

## Edit an output

Before you start, ensure an output exists.

If no output exists, see [Add an output](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/manage-output/#add-an-output).

1. From the **Output** tab, click **Output** to open the tab and display outputs.
2. Click  to display parameters and edit the output. The output parameters display.

Depending on your configuration type and settings, additional parameters may display.

3. [Edit the general parameters](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/configure-output#configure-the-output-stream-mpeg-2-ts-parameters).
4. [Configure the MPEG-2 TS parameters](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/configure-output#configure-the-output-stream-mpeg-2-ts-parameters).
5. [Select the streams to include in the output.](https://docs.mediakind.com/beam/live-encoder/configure/output/configure-output#define-the-output-stream-composition).
6. Click **Ok** to save your changes. The new output is added in the output tab.

## Delete an output

If deleted, the stream is automatically removed from any outputs.

From the **Output** tab, click  in the top right corner of the selected output stream. A message asks you to confirm the deletion.
