# Set the extend Panopto CMS event interval

*Applies to: Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nano, Pearl Nexus.*

A button lets users extend the length of a Panopto event that is in progress. On Pearl devices that have a front screen the button appears there; Pearl Nexus is headless, so use the Admin panel, Epiphan Edge, or third-party control. By default, the event is extended in 5 minute intervals each time the button is tapped. Using the Admin panel, you can set the amount of time the event is extended to 5, 10, or 15 minute intervals. Events cannot be extended beyond the start of the next scheduled event.

**Set the extend Panopto CMS event interval using the Admin panel**

- Log in to the Admin panel as **admin**.

- From the Configuration menu, click **CMS**. The Content management system configuration menu opens.

- Under **Settings**, select the **Extend event** time interval from the drop down list and click **Apply**.
