- Once you have configured an automated blackout and started a service, you can manually [activate or deactivate the blackout](/beam/live-encoder/configure/encoding/blackout-encoding#manually-activate-or-deactivate-a-blackout).
- Once you have activated and configured the [Switch to CBR option](/beam/live-encoder/parameters/encoding/video#switch-to-cbr-parameters), and started the service, you can manually switch from Statmux to CBR (**Switch to CBR** button) or switch back from CBR to Statmux (**Switch to Statmux** button).
