Make it easy for faculty and students to browse your streaming library by creating categories specific to your library or classes.
Automatic Categories
In the category view, you'll find two default categories specific to your campus:
- Recently Added - Quickly locate titles that were added to your library within the past 30 days
- Recently Watched - Identify titles trending on your campus
You can also filter by category using auto or custom categories.
Utilize automatic categories
