Player Configurator

Will my custom logo overlay & logo icon on the web player be displayed on OTT/ConnectedTV as well?

The player customization of the web-player happens player-side. Roku, FireTV and all other OTT/ConnectedTV platforms are using their own native players. None of them have the capability to display the logo overlay or logo icon from your customized web-player. The only way how to add a logo overlay on OTT/ConnectedTV platforms is to have a watermark directly rendered onto your videos during the video editing process, or by using the "Lightcast Watermark Feature" (included in larger packages, see www.lightcast.com/packages ). 

Adding overlays on web-players and rendering a watermark onto the video-file itself are two entirely different technologies and solutions, serving different purposes. One difference is that OTT/ConnectedTV Apps will display your watermark if directly rendered onto your video files. 

Only web-players opened by desktop or mobile browsers are able to display web-player overlays.  You can upload your player logo overlay and player icon through the Player Configurator under “Tools” which replaces the  Lightcast.com logo overlay on the top right corner as well as the Lightcast lime icon in the player navigation.
