# Viewing a channel configuration


You can view information about the configuration of a channel on the **Channel details** page on the AWS Elemental MediaLive console. This page is useful for viewing information when the channel is running. (When a channel is running, you can't view details by choosing **Edit**).

(For information about the buttons on this page, see [Editing a channel](editing-deleting-channel.md#editing-a-channel), [Starting, stopping, and pausing a channel](starting-stopping-deleting-a-channel.md), and [Creating a channel by cloning](creating-channel-clone.md).)
