Overview: Sites
A Site in BrandTV is a customizable, branded video destination that allows organizations to organize and showcase their media in one centralized experience.

Site settings are where admins can set basic information about their site. Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the site editor to navigate to the settings menu.
The General section allows choosing a Site Name, Description, and URL. Admins can also configure images such as Favicons and Social previews.
