Get started with Channels


Use our Channels feature to create fully customized video channels. With Channels, you can effortlessly group clips and playlists together, aligning them perfectly with your company’s branding and overall web strategy.

Channel “elements” are the building blocks that you can endlessly combine to create the perfect presentation of your videos. Add players, grids, carousels, sliders and featured videos to take your viewers’ engagement to the next level.

Let’s start with a quick introduction to the available elements:

  • Header
  • Video Player Block
  • Sliders, Grids and Carousels
  • Featured items
