Manage App Options, Platforms and Settings

Easily create your Apps (including Web Apps), manage using your App Settings menu and apply to available platforms.

You can manage your App settings and Options from the App page under the Apps tab. You can also add which Platforms you would like to apply to your App. OTT Channel accounts usually have a single Web App (and website) available, unless otherwise ordered. OTT Channel Pro, Platform and Network accounts may have multiple Apps and Platforms that can be viewed and edited.
