Show more on one screen with multi-zone channels

What a channel is

A channel is a screen layout divided into zones. Each zone plays its own content: a playlist, a single image or video, or a web page.

Common layouts

A main zone with a sidebar suits menus and promotions. A main zone with a ticker suits announcements. Three zones fit lobbies that combine branding, news and a live dashboard.
