Add content to the landing page

The landing page of an app is organized in shelves that highlight the most relevant videos to a user.

Each shelf is a subset of the app content organized by popularity or publication date:

• New Action Movies
• What's Trending
• Award Winners
• Recently Added

You can also use sort and filter features to construct the content on these shelves.
