Channel and Playlists

Video channels and playlists are one of the best ways to share content with your audience. Instead of copying and pasting a new video link every time you upload, simply share your channel URL or invite members to access your content. They can then view updates directly in their dashboard whenever new videos are added.

Let’s dig deeper into how to set up a channel.

Channel Settings

You can create a channel that lets your audience access all your videos in one place.

Enable Channel

Enable or disable your video channel at any time. When the channel is disabled, your audience will not be able to access it.

Title & Description

Set a clear title and description for your channel. These appear on your channel page and are also added as meta tags to improve your channel’s SEO.

Channel Logo

Upload your brand logo so your channel reflects your visual identity and looks professional.

Hero Banner

Add a hero banner image to highlight your channel and make it more visually engaging and SEO-friendly.

Favicon Icon

Use your own brand icon as the favicon to make your channel look more branded and trustworthy.

Theme Color

Choose a theme color from the color picker to align the channel’s appearance with your brand and make it stand out.

Included Playlists

Select one or more playlists to show on your channel. You can easily reorder them to display playlists in the exact sequence you want.

Member Settings

We allow you to create two types of channels.

Members Only Channels

Dynamic Watermark Settings

When a user is logged in to the channel, we will display the dynamic watermark text as per your requirements. By default, we display the user's IP address, but you can change it to the user's email or name for added security.

Note: You need to enable the dynamic watermark in the player settings to display the watermark.

Custom Domain (CNAME)

Now add a custom domain name for your channel. With CNAME, you can preview video channels on your domain name.

RSS Link

Each of your channels includes a unique RSS Feed URL for easy subscription and updates.

Playlists

Create shareable playlists directly from the Video CMS and share them as curated video albums.

Create a playlist

Click on "Create a Playlist".
Give it a name - it's visible on your shareable page, so give it what makes sense.
Manage your playlists from the left bar. You can update the playlist's title, description, and visibility on the channel.

Here is the sample playlist: View Playlist

Ordering Videos in Playlist

Sort videos quickly, either alphabetically or by upload time. You can also manually reorder videos by moving them up or down. Once updated, your changes will be reflected in your embedded playlist, shareable playlist URL, and the playlist on your channel page.

Embed Playlist

You can also embed playlists directly on your website, app, or blog to give your audience a seamless viewing experience without leaving your platform. Learn more.

Show them on the channel

Enable the toggle Show on channel to add the playlist to the video channel. It will be added to the list channel's page with structured information and data.
