How to create a Channels page

Follow these instructions to create and publish a Channels page.

Your Channel Page is a place where customers can explore all your videos in one beautiful, branded hub. By carefully designing your Channel sections, you can turn it into a Netflix-style video experience that keeps visitors browsing, discovering, and watching more.

The design process is divided into two main parts: Style and Header. These elements allow you to tailor your sections according to your branding and preferences.

Style

Step 1. Choose the overall Theme for your Channel page. You can choose between:

  • Dark Theme: Ideal for a sleek, modern look that highlights your content with a dramatic flair.
  • Light Theme: Perfect for a clean, bright appearance that emphasizes clarity.

Selecting the right theme helps ensure your Channel page aligns with your brand's aesthetic and enhances the viewing experience for your audience.

  • Highlight Color: Choose a highlight color that complements your brand and draws attention to key elements.

  • Text Fonts: Select from 10 different text fonts to ensure your content is readable and visually appealing.
  • View Type: Decide between a carousel or grid view to present your content in the most engaging format.
