please don't merge these changes yet as the features are not complete

With [Stream Recordings](/millicast/distribution/stream-recordings/index.mdx) you will want to be able to retrieve and operate on any media assets that are created. You can do this manually using the [Streaming Dashboard](/millicast/streaming-dashboard/index.mdx) or automate workflows using the [Media Assets](/millicast/api/media-assets-list-media-assets.api.mdx) REST endpoints. There are also [Media Webhooks](/millicast/webhooks/media.md) available for building event-driven integrations.

## Recordings in the Dashboard
_Note: At this time, **Stream Recordings** are currently visible in the dashboard, for **live-to-vod** and **media uploads**, you must use the API to retrieve your assets. Creating live-to-vod assets requires consultation with the Dolby team to enable the workflow._

Live-to-vod clips are also visible on the dashboard
Edit: only mp4, not HLS

Media assets are media recordings that are created one of several ways:

- **[Stream Recordings](/millicast/distribution/stream-recordings/):** Media captured by enabling _recording_ on a token, the entire stream from first to last frame is stored in the cloud as a single-layer "mezzanine" recording, usually stored in an MP4 container
- **[Live-to-VOD clips](/millicast/distribution/stream-recordings/live-clipping/):** These assets are "clipped" out of a live streaming workflow as a servable HLS manifest that can be used for distribution and replays of the stream. These are referred to as "live clips" or "live clipping"

Are millicast mp4 clips also included in live-to-vod?

yes, i made an update but it will be confusing for customers only using theo and not being able to generate an mp4. I assume we don't handle that case? Probably something we should pick up for consistency.
