# Switching to LightAct

These chapters are meant for users who are switching to LightAct from other media servers. They will ease your transition by explaining common concepts, differences and similarities in UI, terminology and workflows.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know:** we are by no means experts in any media server apart from LightAct, so if you notice something is not correct, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Also, if you'd like us to add another media server, feel free to contact us.
{% endhint %}

As we cannot write a page for every media server solution on the market, we focus first on the media servers where we see the largest number of users transitioning from. We will add additional pages as we see fit.
