Channel Page Optimization
Sections
Sections function as the main organizational tool for
channels. Sections make your channel page easy to
browse and can be created dynamically from playlists
or actions such as likes.
Any section either created from a single
playlist OR that only consists of individual videos now
has a play button on it to create an uninterrupted, lean
back experience.
Sections
- Can be annotated to from a video
- Can curate other channels’ content
- Organize content into different groups
- Can organize videos (e.g. popular uploads),
playlists (My Albums) or Channels (more from
my network).
Playlists
- Viewable in search and suggested placement
- Organize content that is meant to be viewed
in order
- Can be annotated to from a video
- Can curate other channels’ content
- Can’t organize playlists, only videos
• Use sections to organize your best content or
curate other channels’ content.
• For channels that upload multiple shows and
assemble them into playlists, you can put all show
playlists in one section.
• Sections can curate other channels’ content.
To annotate to a section from a video,
use the click-through link for the section from your
channel page and input that URL as an annotation.
