# Configure outputs
<a name="creating-a-channel-step4"></a>

The **Outputs **section lets you create output groups in the channel. The **Outputs** section provides access to the following content:
+ The output group, which contains settings that configure the output packages and output containers in the channel.
+ One or more outputs. Outputs are containers for video, audio, and captions output encodes. 
+ The individual output encodes.

For information about setting up the contents of an output group, see the following sections:
+ [Setup: Creating output groups and outputs](medialive-outputs.md)
+ [Set up the video encode](creating-a-channel-step6.md)
+ [Set up the audio encodes](creating-a-channel-step7.md)
+ [Set up the captions encodes](creating-a-channel-step8.md)

After you have set up all the output groups, you will be ready to [save the channel](creating-a-channel-step9.md).
