Exit this window, go to Appearance and Apps, and click Edit.
Select the checkbox Show My Account Channel in the BoxCast Apps (Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV) and add your organization's logo.
Drag and drop to upload your logos. Follow the instructions below to prepare the logos in the proper file size and format for optimal usability.
