Allow Categories on All Media
Categories provide a means for you to logically group content that is similar. Only Account Admins and Media Admins are able to enable and disable categories.
 
*To enable categories:
1. Navigate to Admin > Media Settings > Features.
2. Select the Allow categories on all media checkbox.
 
Keep in mind:
Categories may have sub-categories.
Category names must be unique within an account.
Category names have a maximum of 100 characters and a minimum of 1 character.
When deleting a category, content assigned to that category is not deleted; only the association to the category itself is removed.
 
When categories are disabled:
A category will not be able to be selected when media is uploaded.
Category details will not be displayed on any video page.
Category filter options are removed from video search pages.
Category Management will no longer be available for admins.
The option to Bulk Edit categories will no longer be available.
If categories are disabled after a category has already been used, the category will not be deleted from the database. However, its display will be discontinued as noted above. (video pages, upload pages, search fields, etc.)
