IBM Video Streaming subscription plans need to be migrated over to the IBM Marketplace Billing system. As part of this process, active plans are being cancelled automatically, and accounts are required to be migrated by the customer manually.
After your account has been cancelled, you will have access to IBM Video Streaming services until the end of your last billing period.
To keep using IBM Video Streaming with the content and settings of your legacy account, please follow these steps below to manually migrate your account to the IBM Marketplace.
1. Log in to the IBM Video Streaming Dashboard (https://video.ibm.com/dashboard)
You will have access to all settings and contents until the end of your last billing period after the cancellation. During this period, when you visit the Subscription page on your IBM Video Streaming dashboard, you will see when your cancelled subscription ends.
You will only need to migrate your account after the last billing period has ended.
2. After the cancellation has been effective, (when the last billing period has ended), you can start migrating your account by logging in to the IBM Video Streaming Dashboard (https://video.ibm.com/dashboard) again.
When you log in, you will only have access to the page with a message about your cancelled account.
3. Check and note your email address for the migration of your account. (If you are having trouble or are unsure of your email to your account please submit a ticket to https://support.video.ibm.com/ with your account ID and we can provide the email that is on the account)
