Modified on Fri, 16 Aug at 9:33 AM

Would you like to display your FAST channels on your home page so that your users know what's happening with your live programmes? The ‘Now’ component lets you highlight them in a TV mosaic-style preview.

This component allows your users to access the key elements of your FAST channels at a glance:

- The thumbnail image of the current programme

- The progress of the programme (white bar at the bottom of the thumbnail)

- Programme title

- Programme start and end times

- The channel logo

To create your ‘In progress’ component, go to the menu PLATFORM > Layout > Home page > New Mosaic or Carousel > Datasource type > Now

If you want to display all the channels in the FAST streaming menu on your home page, select the ‘All themes’ field.

To select only some of your channels to be displayed in this Component, you can choose a Theme corresponding to the Theme of your FAST video.

Example with the ‘Police’ Theme selected here in the Component menu:

And here in the FAST streaming description menu:

This component will display the FAST channels present in the CATALOG > FAST streaming menu.

If you have not yet entered any content in the FAST broadcast menu, go to the CATALOG > FAST broadcast > Create a FAST broadcast menu.
