Before you can stream content, you need to let your users know
that the content is available. An easy way to accomplish this is to
use the announcement wizards to create an announcement for the publishing point. The announcement
wizards are located on the Announce tab of the publishing
point.
As an alternative to using announcements, you can simply provide
the URL a client needs to access the content in an e-mail or on a
public shared resource.
Distribution
servers cannot use announcement files to connect to
a publishing point. To enable a distribution server to connect to
your publishing point, you must give the publishing point URL to
the distribution server administrator.
