Cast & Crew is the list of people you credit on your content: presenters, commentators, performers, directors, producers. You add a person once, then pick them on any event, on-demand title or show, and their name and role appear in the credits. On a sports platform, players and coaches belong in Athletes instead (see the comparison below).

Add a person

  1. 1
    Open Cast & Crew

    Go to Studio → Taxonomy → Cast & Crew and click Add person.

  2. 2
    Choose the type

    Pick Cast for people on screen or on air, or Crew for people behind it.

  3. 3
    Give them a role

    In Role / sub-role, type how they should be credited, such as Director, Lead Commentator or Host.

  4. 4
    Enter their name

    Type the Full name as it should appear publicly. This is the only field you must fill in.

  5. 5
    Add the details you have

    Optionally fill Biography, Date of birth and Place of birth.

  6. 6

Credit people on your content

  1. 1
    Open the content

    Open an event in Studio → Content → Events, a title in Studio → Content → On-Demand, or a show in Studio → Content → Shows.

  2. 2
    Find the Cast & Crew picker

    On an event it sits in the Genres & people card. On-demand titles and shows have the same picker on their forms.

  3. 3
    Pick people

    Search by name and select everyone involved. Each person shows with their role, so you can tell two people with the same name apart.

  4. 4
    Save

    Click SAVE CHANGES. The credits appear on the public page straight away.
