Additional App notes:

  • The page will be opened using your player’s browser, hence rendering may look different compared to your desktop. We suggest you test the final look on the target player before deploying the content.

  • It is important to understand the target webpage terms of service and copyrights to avoid breaking any licensing agreement.
