If your channel is monetizing by SVOD (subscription-based): Pzaz will set up a Dedicated App with a customized App Theme. For this setup, we need 4 (four) HEX-code colors of your channel brand colors.
If you require an S3 bucket/FTP server/Google Drive folder/MRSS/API, etc. to upload the assets, please contact Pzaz at onboarding@pzaz.io to arrange for this.
*Any delay in Pzaz receiving the full content asset package could result in an inaccurate estimation of Pzaz’s proposed release date and/or a significant delay in promotion materials and in your channel being released to live on our platform.*
