Update channel’s player options

Once you have created a channel, you can edit it as needed. There are additional settings available when editing your channels. Once you no longer need the channel, you can delete it to conserve space.

To update a channel’s player options:

1. Click Browse Channels and browse to the channel you want or select the channel in Favorite Channels. Click the channel’s title to see additional channel management options.

2. Click Player to view the Edit Player Options page.

3. Choose the general layout and playback control settings for the player:

Option	Settings
