Enhance Your Mobile App Experience with Featured Posters
When it comes to streaming, first impressions matter—especially on mobile. With smaller screens and limited browsing space, it’s essential to capture your user’s attention instantly. Magine Pro’s Featured Poster feature helps you do just that by prominently positioning key visuals at the top of the mobile app, delivering a sleek and modern look while enhancing content discoverability.
How Does the Featured Poster Work?
The Featured Poster is an image type designed exclusively for mobile phones, allowing OTT services to showcase selected content strikingly. By placing an eye-catching poster at the top of the mobile app, this feature provides a high-impact visual experience that guides viewers to premium content and can improve user engagement.
Why Featured Posters Matter for Your OTT Service
- Enhanced Content Discovery: A prominent visual display at the top of the screen makes it easier for users to find highlighted content.
- Professional & Modern Look: Elevate your mobile app’s design with a sleek, visually compelling layout.
- Greater Control Over Presentation: Choose whether to overlay metadata or allow the image to speak for the content.
How to Enable the Featured Poster Feature
Setting up the Featured Poster feature in the Magine Pro Console is simple and customisable. Follow these steps to integrate it into your service:
- Add a Featured Poster Image: Upload a poster image in the Featured Poster field of your asset.
- Create a Feature Collection: Navigate to Collections and create a new Feature Collection.
- Set Mobile Display Preferences: In the Collection UI, go to General > Mobile Image Type and select “Long View Carousel” for mobile rendering.
- Metadata Management:
- If your poster does not contain text, you can add a title and metadata through the Collection UI.
- If your poster already contains text, we recommend adding metadata only for larger screen formats such as tablets, web, and TV screens (Android TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV).
- Save & Apply: Ensure the Featured Hero Collection is placed at the top of the mobile app’s view.
