Note

This article is for assigning a promo to a specific stream. If you want a promo to run across all of your streams, see our tutorial on Universal promos.


From your Dashboard

  1. In the left side menu under VMcast, click “Manage Promos.”

  2. This is the promos manager for your account. Click “Create New.”

  3. Give the promo a name. It will help you find your promo when assigning it.

  4. Click “Build Your Promo.” You'll be taken to the promo creator page.

  5. Click “Set Content" and choose one of the options from the dropdown menu.

  6. (Optional) Under the Settings tab, set the promo playback option to “Fullscreen." This makes the promo fill the TV screen, temporarily hiding all of the VMcast frames.

  7. When you're ready, click the “Promos” link at the top left of the screen. Your new promo will be listed.

  8. Assign your promo to a stream. Click “Assignments” next to your promo.

  9. Select the stream or streams you want this promo to run on.

  10. Click “Save Promo Assignments” at the top of the page.

Your promo is now set to play on your selected stream!

Multiple promos

If you have multiple promos assigned to a stream, they will play according to the set frequency and order you have set.
