LivingLens channels
A channel is a media folder in LivingLens. Users can only search for, filter, and create showreels with media in one channel. There is no limit to the number of file uploads to a channel.
It is best practice to create a new channel for each project run in LivingLens. For information on how to create a new channel, see Creating a new channel.
A channel's default view is the Media Library.
Every LivingLens user has a Default channel. This is the channel that loads after login to the platform and is named in the top banner. The Default channel is typically the first channel a user has access to and may appear despite creating subsequent channels.
Click Change Channel to view all channels you have access to. To select a different channel:
In the channel modal window, search for a channel in the Filter Channels field.
Select a channel.
Click View. This loads the selected channel in LivingLens.
Users with multiple customers can filter the list of channels by customer.
In the channel modal window, open the Customer menu by clicking All Customers.
Search or scroll for any customer you have access to.
Select a Customer to load all channels you have access to within the Customer group.
Select a channel.
Click View. This loads the selected channel in LivingLens.
