Channels are a way to group specific broadcasts into a single video player so that viewers see only events specified for that channel (e.g. you can create a list of Baseball specific videos or group your service broadcasts by sermon series).
Create a New Channel
Step 1
Click the Channels tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
Step 2
Click the green Add a Channel Button to create a new channel. This will open a new window where you can enter the specifics of your channel.
The Overview tab will allow you to give your channel a name, description, preview image, and change visibility. The website and content language sections are related to a Podcast channel. To learn more about that, click here.
The Privacy and Security tab will allow you to enable Geo-Blocking, Password Protection or Embedding Restrictions to your channel.
The Podcasting tab will allow you to make it a podcasting channel that can be sent to Apple Podcasts or the Google play store. Learn more about podcasting with BoxCast.
The Advanced tab is for our API integration.
Step 3
After you create a channel, you will now be able to add broadcasts to the channel on the scheduling page.
Common Questions
Can I embed a channel on my website?
Yes! Learn more about embedding your channel.
Does a public channel make my ticketed broadcasts free?
No! Your individual broadcast settings will be applied to that channel. That could be ticketing, password protection, etc.
Can I ticket a channel and a single broadcast?
Yes! You will want to ticket that broadcast and then ticket the channel. To give you an example, if you had 10 broadcasts in a channel all ticketed at $9.99 each but you wanted to offer a viewer the ability to watch all 10 broadcasts at a bulk price of $74.99, you would ticket the channel at $74.99 and that will override the individual broadcasts tickets settings.
