You can link one or more Microsoft Azure accounts to ZEN Master. This enables you to launch managed Broadcaster clusters on Azure (including broadcasters that use Nvidia GPU for transcoding). You can also use Azure Blob storage as publishing targets for storing HLS and DASH manifests and segments.

The **Accounts **tab in the **Azure Accounts** screen shows your existing Azure accounts that are linked to ZEN Master.

To link your Azure account to ZEN Master, first you need to create an Azure Active Directory application with a service principal (identity). Then you can enter your Azure account parameters into ZEN Master to link your Azure account to ZEN Master.
