Share Flow - Pipe Video and AWS Setup

#Overview

This documentation contains additional information on setting up Pipe video and AWS for a new moment. Pipe videos require some manual steps:

• Create a new Pipe environment for the moment
• Create a new AWS S3 folder for the moment
• Configure Pipe to use the AWS S3 folder

Create a new Pipe environment for the moment

Uploaded videos use Pipe for the uploader and AWS for storage. A new Pipe environment and AWS S3 folder is usually created for a new moment to organise videos.

• Pipe Video Dashboard
