Add app content

Your apps enable you to showcase your content to your viewers. You can add several types of content to your apps:

• Video-on-demand (VOD): Unscheduled video content
• Trailer: Short video that encourages user engagement on a specific video
• Live: Scheduled video content

All video content for your apps must first be added to your JWP Media Library.

The following sections explain how to add each type of content to your media library.
