Where Connected Bios Appear
When a bio is linked to an asset:
-
It displays below the video or media player on the asset view page from a Sardius Channel using a Collection layout
-
It includes the bio’s profile image, name, and description
-
Viewers can click on the bio to see additional information, if enabled
This helps viewers identify speakers, pastors, hosts, musicians, or contributors featured in your content.
Connecting an Asset to an Event
Assigning a bio to an event allows you to highlight the speakers, performers, hosts, or presenters associated with that specific live or scheduled event. When a bio is connected, viewers will see the person’s information directly on the event page—making it easier to understand who is involved and helping add professionalism and clarity to your event listings.
