Layout

This section controls the way the video content and the engagement layers are laid out within the player and in relation to each other. Consider the following user cases:

On desktop

You'd like the engagement to overlay the video. In this case you can set:

Video Layout - Desktop = Fit Center
Engagement Layout - Desktop = Fit

On Mobile - in portrait mode (vertical)

You'd like the video to be shown at the top of the screen and the engagement to show under the video. In this case you can set:

Video Layout - Mobile Portrait = Fit Top
Engagement Layout - Mobile Portrait = Fill
The engagement will fill the mobile screen and will account for the space that is required for the video player to display the content automatically.
