How are my existing showcases impacted by the redesign?
You may notice changes in how your existing showcases look as we’ve modernized the experience with a new visual design. Our team has leveraged your previous settings to automatically recreate the experience as closely as possible.
Player Layout
Here is the redesigned Player layout:
Featured content layout:
The previously available Default and Live layouts have been combined as part of the Featured content layout. Now, you have the flexibility to either highlight a live event as the featured content or to include it as part of the showcase playlist.
Here’s an example of the redesigned Featured content layout:
How can I recreate the previous layouts?
Here’s how you can achieve the previous layout experiences in the new UI:
How to recreate the Default layout:
- To recreate this, access the Appearance settings panel.
- Choose the Featured content layout, turn off the Featured content toggle under the Header section.
-
Select Player under the Video cards setting in the Display section.
This layout was known for displaying the showcase title in the banner without featured content, and the grid contained player thumbnails.
How to recreate the Feature layout:
- To recreate this, access the Appearance settings panel.
- Choose the Featured content layout, turn on the Featured content toggle under the Header section.
- Select the video you want to feature.
- Now, under Detail source, select Showcase.
-
Select the Display section, click on the Thumbnail for the Video cards setting.
This layout featured an image or video in the banner with the showcase title, and the video cards displayed image thumbnails.
How to recreate the Live layout:
- To recreate this, access the Appearance settings panel.
- Choose the Featured content layout, turn on the Featured content toggle under the Header section.
- Select your live event from the video picker.
- Select the video under the detail source.
This layout featured a live event in the banner and the live event's title.
New customization options for featured content
The new UI offers more granular control over your showcase’s appearance than ever before. You can now:
Customize video card thumbnails: In the previous experience, your choice of layout dictated whether the video cards displayed an image thumbnail or a video player. Now, you can choose between Thumbnail and Player view independently of your layout selection, giving you more control over the look and feel of your showcase.
Control the banner title: When you choose to feature a video or live event, you can now decide whether the banner displays the title and description of the showcase or of the featured content. This allows for a more tailored and professional presentation.
We recommend browsing the Help Center to read more about the new features and any workflows that have been updated.
