Appearance
Dashboard
The Dashboard is the first screen inside the Ink Player admin area. It gives you a compact overview of your media library, recent activity, and the next actions most site owners need.
What you see
The dashboard is designed for quick scanning:
- Performance summary — recent views, viewers, watch time, and engagement signals when Analytics is enabled.
- Top content — media items that are performing best during the current reporting window.
- Recent media — the newest video and audio items added to the library.
- Recent playlists — playlist shortcuts so you can keep collections current.
- Quick actions — links to add media, create playlists, manage integrations, and review settings.
- Resources — useful documentation and support links.
INFO
Analytics cards only become meaningful after you enable tracking in Settings → Analytics. Until then, use the dashboard as a launch point for setup and library management.
Recommended first actions
- Add your first item in Media.
- Choose a default look in Settings → Presets.
- Connect providers in Settings → Integrations if you use Bunny.net, Mux, email tools, or page builders.
- Turn on Analytics when you are ready to collect playback data.
- Add Overlays or Ads where they support your content goals.
