        • Adjust the time between screen transitions.

        • Set orientation adjustments if the TV is mounted vertically or upside down.

      6. Preview and Adjust Content

        • Return to the Channels page.

        • Select a channel and click "Preview" to view it on the TV.

      Cautionary Notes

      • Ensure that you are aware of the visibility settings when creating or adjusting channels, as this can affect who can see the content.

      • Be careful when deleting channels, as this action is irreversible unless the channel is duplicated first.

      • Always preview the channel before finalizing settings to ensure everything appears as intended.

      Tips for Efficiency

      • Use the search bar frequently to quickly find existing channels instead of scrolling through all options.

      • Organize channels by naming them clearly and logically to make future management easier.

      • Regularly review and clean up hidden channels to maintain an organized workspace.

      • Familiarize yourself with the drag-and-drop feature for quick adjustments to content positioning.
