Channels are a way to group specific broadcasts into a single video player so that viewers see only events specified for that channel (e.g. you can create a list of Baseball specific videos or group your service broadcasts by sermon series).
Follow these steps below to create a new Channel:
1. Click the Channels tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click the green Add a Channel Button to create a new channel. This will open a new window where you can enter the specifics of your channel.
The Overview tab will allow you to give your channel a name, description, preview image, and change visibility. The website and content language sections are related to a Podcast channel. To learn more about that, click here.
The Privacy and Security tab will allow you to enable Geo-Blocking, Password Protection or Embedding Restrictions to your channel.
The Podcasting tab will allow you to make it a podcasting channel that can be sent to Apple Podcasts or the Google play store. To learn more about that, click here.
The Advanced tab is for our API integration.
3. After you create a channel, you will now be able to add broadcasts to the channel on the scheduling page.
Common Questions
Q: Can I embed a channel on my website?
A: Yes! Details on embedding your channel can be found HERE.
Q: Does a public channel make my ticketed broadcasts free?
A: No! Your individual broadcast settings will be applied to that channel. That could be ticketing, password protection, etc.
Q: Can I ticket a channel and a single broadcast?
A: Yes! You will want to ticket that broadcast and then ticket the channel. To give you an example, if you had 10 broadcasts in a channel all ticketed at $9.99 each but you wanted to offer a viewer the ability to watch all 10 broadcasts at a bulk price of $74.99, you would ticket the channel at $74.99 and that will override the individual broadcasts tickets settings.
