You will need video collateral. There should be six or more videos, although it will work with fewer. You can use more videos, as it will infinitely scroll. You will also need an image file (which we call a “poster”) for each video. The image will display as representative of the video on the home screen. You will also want to provide a logo file for the top of the screen.
