Your viewers can now browse your Media Library by Topics and Speakers, get recommendations based on view history, and access other areas of your ministry—all from the new Media tab.
Requires 6.10 mobile app update to access all features described.
Adding the Personalized Media Experience to your Mobile App
From Apps > Mobile App, click Manage Tabs and Add Tab
Choose Media
Give the tab a title and select an icon
The tab will then populate in the Inactive frame. Move your new Media Tab from Inactive to Active and tap Publish
You can only have one Media tab active in your app. For existing clients with the previous Media Tab (Media Smart List), if the previous Media Tab is set to Active, you must move it to Inactive in order to add the new Media Tab. You can still use a Build Your Own tab along with the new Media Tab if you wish to incorporate additional media in another active tab.

The new Media Tab was designed to utilize Topic, Speaker, and Scripture tags to simplify your workflow and make sharing your Media content as automated as possible, while at the same time, providing a delightful and engaging experience for your audience.
