Lock Icons for Videos That Require Subscription

Lock Icons

Apps built with the Zype SDKs have the ability to add lock icons to apps as a feature. When enabled, videos requiring a subscription will display red lock icons above the thumbnail images when the user is not subscribed. The red icons change to blue lock icons once the user signs in or links an account with a subscription or purchases a native subscription (if enabled).

Zype’s Android, iOS, and Fire TV (Java-based) apps will have lock icons by default. Lock icons are available for the Apple TV and Roku apps but need to be enabled in the config files.
