Cancelled announcement

If you are planning to distribute content as a multicast stream from the Windows Media server, you must first create an announcement for the stream. If you have access permission to the Windows Media server service through DCOM, you can use the Multicast Announcement wizard in the encoder to create the announcement; otherwise, the announcement must be created on the Windows Media server. For information about creating an announcement on the server, see the server documentation. For information about creating an announcement using the encoder, see Creating an announcement for a multicast.

If you are planning to distribute content as a unicast stream from the Windows Media server, it is not necessary to create an announcement.
