Duration: Around 10 minutes
What you'll need:
- Your name
- Vendor name
- Company registered address
- Primary contact email address
- Primary contact job title
- A name for your channel
- A profile and background image for the channel in case you wish to embed a 'full channel' widget
1: Create your Recast for Business account
Create your vendor account
Head to business.recast.tv/api-register. Before you set up your vendor account, you'll be asked to first create a Recast user account, or if you already have one, you can sign-in with your existing user account details.
Now you can set up your Vendor account. This is the person or business that will be paid out any earnings from your sales via Recast. You'll need to provide some details such as the primary contact for the vendor and once you've done that you can start setting up your Brand.
2. Set up your brand
Your Brand is your public-facing part of your Vendor account. Give it a name, description, profile image, and cover image that makes you easily recognisable. You'll take this brand across the web as you (and affiliates) embed and share your content.
- Profile image: 1080 x 1080 pixels
- Cover image: 1920 x 1080 pixels
You are now signed up and are logged in to Recast for Business.
3. Add brand admins (optional)
To add additional admins for your channel, first make sure they have signed up for a Recast fan account and ask them to share their account User Name
- They can sign up for a Recast fan account (for free) here: https://account.recast.tv/sign-up
- Once they've signed up they can find their User Name in the Account Settings tab:
- Once you've got their username, go to Manage Admins in Recast for Business
- Add the user name in the User Name field (highlighted below)
- Click "Add new admin" and they will now be able to gain access to your Recast for Business account via https://publish.recast.tv/login
