New in the Media Cloud: App Builder and more

1-Apr-10-2023-07-58-35-1558-PM


If you are a Lightcast client with an active service subscription you have now access to the first phase of the App Builder 1.0 - a new Media Cloud area to manage your app's navigation structure in real-time, such as adding, removing and sorting Channels (Categories) to further control your App's Home Screen, as well as enabling SubChannels/MediaGroups for your Apps, adding/removing videos ads, changing the settings for pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll ads, configuration of the time-out feature for your linear streams, and much more is to come! This is a one-of-a-kind product in the leading multi-platform OVP, the Lightcast Media Cloud, which will, yet again, set a new industry-standard moving forward.
