Overview
Branding is essential to your VIDIZMO Portal as it significantly impacts your users' experience and strongly emphasizes your brand voice, theme, or tone. VIDIZMO provides the tools to customize various aspects of your Portal, such as your Portal thumbnail or header.
In addition, you can customize various aspects of your Portal's user interface (UI) using custom CSS. The UI elements each have a predefined CSS class that you can utilize when writing your CSS code for customizations.
Using Custom CSS, you can customize the appearance of your users' profile pages on your Portal. This includes customizing the labels and fields that show information about the users, such as which groups they belong to, their assigned CAL, and even their profile picture. Additionally, if you have the required permissions to edit user details, you can modify the fields where the user details are entered using their respective CSS classes.
Note: Please note that the class availability depends on the type of VIDIZMO product you are using, whether you have the required permissions, and whether a certain feature is available in your product.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that you have Portal Management permission to access Portal settings.
- To use Custom CSS, ensure you have access to the Branding feature via group permission or CAL.

Note: In addition to customizing UI elements using their CSS classes, you can write code to make these customizations specific to CAL on your VIDIZMO Portal. Learn more here: How to Perform CAL Specific CSS Customizations

Diagnostics

- Another reason that changes might not be affected is if the UI element has multiple or Nested CSS classes on it. You can check the CSS class of a certain element by checking from your browser’s developer tools.
