2. Drag and drop the videos into the desired order.
3. When you are finished, click Save Order.
Sort your channels
You may wish to sort your channels to more easily find content in your Hosting account or to order them by date and time, title, or visibility.
1. First, go to your Channels page by clicking Channels in the menu on the left.
2. Click the Sort by list in the top right of the Channels page and select one of the available options.
You can sort by Title, Most Recent, Visibility setting, Video Count, Image Count, and View Count.
3. You can also sort in either ascending or descending order by clicking the arrows next to the Sort by list.
Add content to a channel
You can add videos, images, and quizzes to a channel by following these steps:
1. From your ScreenPal hosting account, hover an item in your Library, and select the checkbox in the top left corner of the thumbnail. You can select as many content items as you like.
2. Click the Add all to channel icon that is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
3. This opens the Channels page, enabling you to choose an existing channel to which you want to add the selected content items.
When you upload an item to a channel, it retains its own visibility settings, rather than taking on the visibility setting of the channel. For example, you can upload a Public video to a Password Protected channel. To view the video from the channel, viewers will first have to enter a password to access the channel. When viewers access the video from a direct link, however, they will be able to view it without entering a password.
