🚀 Overview

Vido is an Android YouTube Multi-Channel Aggregator Application designed to stream and organize videos from multiple
YouTube channels within a unified, brandable mobile experience. Built for creators, content agencies, and media startups,
it lets you curate videos from different channels, manage playlists, and present them under your own app identity —
without needing to build a custom player from scratch.

Experience: Vido was developed with real-world content managers in mind, supporting the YouTube Data API, category-based
browsing, and auto-refresh for newly uploaded videos — perfect for schools, influencers, news networks, or niche media groups.
