AEM Cloud Screens Content Provider has limited channel templates
When creating a channel in Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Screens Content Provider, there are only three available templates. Most of the original templates have been removed because they are rarely used in their original form and usually require modifications to the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS).

Environment
Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service
Issue/Symptoms
While creating a channel in Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Screens Content Provider, there are only three templates:
- Sequence Channel
- Left L-bar Split Screen Channel
- Right L-bar Split Screen Channel
On the other hand, Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 (on-prem) Screens Content Provider has:
- Application Channel
- 1x1 Split Screen Channel
- 2x2 Split Screen Channel
Can we have these channels on AEM Cloud as well?
Resolution resolution
The channel templates from Screens as a Cloud Service were mostly removed because they are rarely applied as-is and required you to change the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) to make them work for your use case.
The L-Bar templates should already provide the same capabilities, and were built such that they are easier to modify.
You can follow this documentation and just add the desired templates to your repository.
