These sections can be based on playlists in your channel. With YouTube, Amazon Creator picks up categories from the sections on your YouTube page. With MRSS feeds, Amazon Creator lists items in the category navigation bar based on the category element for each item. (Many times the video hosts will provide an MRSS feed for your content.) Note that you can use only a single MRSS feed per app. With the MRSS approach, you manage your video descriptions and other details through your feed elements. Using an MRSS feed requires you to host your video content outside of YouTube, on your own server or on a supported video host, such as Ooyala, Kaltura, AWS S3 with Cloudfront, or others.
