We’re excited to share the latest advancements we’ve made to our Channels feature. Channels have now been improved to include:

  • A video detail page
  • Search
  • Customizable thumbnail formats
  • Customizable buttons

What are Channels?

With Channels, you can effortlessly organize, showcase, and monetize your videos.  Customizable templates enable you to create visually stunning video landing pages that align with your brand’s aesthetics and messaging. Seamlessly integrate videos into your website and apps to captivate your audience and drive engagement.

Video detail page

We’ve added a new view to our Channels called the detail page. When this setting is enabled, your viewers can select a video to open a dedicated landing page that showcases the video along with relevant information.

Additionally, you’ll find a selection of related videos to further enhance the viewing experience. This helps you retain viewers and encourages multiple video views in a single session, ultimately driving higher levels of engagement.

Search

We’ve listened to your feedback and are happy to introduce a highly requested feature: channel search. With this powerful addition, your audience gains the ability to effortlessly explore and find the specific content they are seeking within your channel, enabling your viewers to discover more of the valuable content your channel has to offer.

Customizable thumbnail formats

Our existing functionality allows you to generate multiple thumbnail formats with different dimensions for each video. Now, we’ve extended this capability to Channels, granting you enhanced control over the presentation of your videos.

We’ve also added the option to crop an existing thumbnail to the desired aspect ratio.

Supported standard aspect ratios are:

  • Portrait (9:16)
  • Landscape (16:9)
  • Widescreen (21:9)
  • Classic TV (4:3)
  • Photo (3:2)
  • Square (1:1)
  • Poster (4:5)

Customizable buttons

And last, but not least: We’ve added the ability to customize buttons for your channel. Now, you can better align the look and feel of your channel page with your brand’s identity, creating a cohesive and visually appealing experience for your viewers.
