Custom Screens

If your platform uses Custom Screens that cannot be edited directly in the App Editor, you can configure them here.

Open this page in the Dashboard: Dashboard > Settings > Apps

Click the pencil icon next to the desired app and go to "Custom screens" in the header menu


Custom Screens may appear under different names on your platform, as they can be renamed during your setup process.

The following Custom Screens can be configured here:

  • News Screen – optimized for displaying news articles with infinite scroll. The top article is highlighted, and a category filter is available in the header.

  • Video Screen – optimized for video content with large thumbnails and infinite scroll. The first video is highlighted.

  • App Start Screen – shown after the splash screen when the app launches. Ideal for featuring highlights or promotions.

Learn more about Custom Screens here: Screen Types

1. News Screen

Existing Content Categories
You’ll see a list of all content categories currently displayed on the News Screen.

  • Use the X icon to remove a category from the News Screen. This won’t delete the category itself.

  • Drag & drop to reorder categories. This changes their order in the category filter shown in your app’s header.

  • Use the pencil icon to rename how the category is displayed in the filter. If no custom name is entered, the system will use the original category name.

Add a New Category to News Screen

  • Category: Select an existing content category from the dropdown.

  • Custom Name (optional): Override the display name in the app’s category filter (e.g., if the category is named “Radio X Updates” but you want it to appear as “News”).

2. Video Screen

Choose the RSS video feeds that should be displayed in the Video Tab.

Important: Only feeds previously imported via RSS can be selected. Learn more about importing RSS video feeds here:

Platform Behavior: If you add multiple feeds, content will be displayed in chronological order (mixed across all feeds).

3. Embeddings

If you haven’t created an embedding yet, start here to create one: Embeddings

Embeddings to present Display Ads: Embeddings are often used to insert display ad elements on Custom Screens via HTML (typically served by your own ad server). If this is your use case please also read this article: HTML-Based Display Ad Integration

Embeddings on News and Video Screens

You can insert Embeddings every X items within the content list. Currently, this feature is only available in mobile apps.

  • Platform: Choose iOS or Android

  • Screen: Select either News or Video

  • Position: Define how often the embedding should appear (e.g., every 4th item). Click “Update Position” to apply.

  • New Embedding Item: Select a previously created embedding and click Add Item

Multiple Embeddings: You can add several items. They will rotate at the defined interval across the screen.

Remove Embedding: See your current embedding list in the dashboard and click the X next to the embedding you wish to remove.

Note: This must be done separately for iOS and Android.

Embeddings on App Start

You can show a full-screen Embedding (e.g., ad banner or promotion) at app launch using the App Start screen.

  • Platform: Choose iOS or Android (you can show different content per platform)

  • Screen: Select App Start

  • App Start Embedding: Choose from your previously created embeddings and click Set Item

Tip: For best visual impact, use a portrait format embedding.

To remove the embedding:

  • Select the platform and screen, then click the X in the dropdown to delete it.

Note: This configuration must also be done separately for iOS and Android.
