App Settings: Mobile & TV

The Apps page holds the settings for your mobile apps (iPhone and Android), TV apps: the player, playback and casting, notification reminders, intro screens, and registration and purchases on TV. Go to Platform → Apps to set them up. These settings don't change your website.

  2. Mobile app: playback, casting, notifications, and intro screens
  3. TV apps: registration and purchases on TV

Player (mobile & TV)

Applies to your mobile and TV apps only.

  • Still Watching Timer (Seconds): shows a Still Watching? prompt after this many seconds. Leave it empty, or set it to 0, to turn it off.
  • Video Watermark: an image shown on top of the video player, such as your logo. Upload an image, or drag and drop it.

Mobile app

Applies to your iPhone and Android apps only.

Playback & casting

  • Enable Background Playback: keeps the audio playing when viewers leave the app.
  • Enable Chromecast: lets viewers cast videos from the app to a TV with Chromecast.
  • Enable Audio Mode: lets viewers switch to audio-only playback, without the video. Great for sermons, podcasts, and music.

Notifications reminder

Viewers who turned off notifications can get a reminder that they can turn them back on in their phone settings. Choose how often: Every launch, Every 5th launch, or Never. Viewers with notifications on never see it, and it doesn't change the phone's own permission request the first time the app opens. Learn more: Push notifications

Intro screens

Intro screens are slides that introduce your platform or highlight key features, shown when viewers open the app.

  • Enable Intro Screens: turns intro screens on. Add at least one image first.
  • Show Every Time (Guests): when it's on, viewers who aren't logged in see the intro screens every time they open the app. When it's off, they see them only the first time. Logged-in viewers don't see them again.
  • Intro Images: click Add Image to add a slide. Slides appear in the order you add them. Use JPG or PNG images, up to 2 MB, with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

Tip: keep each slide short and visual, with one idea per slide.

TV apps

  • Enable Registration Screen on TV Apps: lets viewers open the registration screen right from your TV apps. Whether it uses the built-in form or your own sign-up link is set in Platform → General. Learn more: Access & subscription
  • Enable Purchases on TV Apps: lets viewers buy subscriptions or content right in your TV apps.
  • Purchase Page Link: the page your TV apps open when viewers need to complete a purchase outside the app.
  • Paywall Message (TV Apps): the message viewers see in your TV apps when content requires payment, for example: Subscribe at yoursite.com to watch.
