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.

Example ways to use a channel

These are example use cases for a LivingLens channel:

  • Create multiple channels for different groups within a company, such as by team, department, sub-brand or product.
  • Use a channel for each research project.
  • LivingLens Experience Edition — each video question in a Medallia survey automatically creates a unique LivingLens channel.
  • Insights Suite projects

    • Each Promoter Campaign automatically creates a unique LivingLens channel
    • Each Crowdicity Challenge automatically creates a unique LivingLens channel
