Video Settings
You may add or edit video settings at any time to make it easier for users to find content. Video settings may be edited during upload or after a video has already been saved and include such items as name, description, category, and so forth. There are Basic Settings and Advanced Settings that may be edited; each are described below.
Note: By default, all uploaded video as well as video URLs (live and VOD) and recorded Webcasts are set to Inactive status and must be manually activated. This allows you to control when videos are available for general viewing so that video settings such as thumbnails, categories, access controls, and so forth may be put in place before allowing your audience to view them. |
To edit video settings:1. Navigate to a video you want to edit the settings for and access the video player.
2. Click or hover over the Video Settings button.
3. A dropdown menu appears that provides you with access to the various settings you may modify.
