Inline Player Channel:

Publishers can now createInline Player Channels on the video hub main page. The channel automatically plays muted previews of channel videos in a large format, full-width video player. A single click on the video player opens the Player Page playing clicked video. A single click on the carousel thumbnail will change the video playing in the inline player. The Inline Player channel looks like a Standard channel on mobile devices.

The Inline Player Channel layout can be placed anywhere in your hub page. Like other channel layouts, you can easily control the featured content as well as the color and font of the overlay title and description. This player can’t be monetized with ads and the player events can’t be tracked.
