Video Library

There are 2 video types you can use in the library, Videos and Live. At the very top left of the Library you can select a video type which changes the video create button on the right side, and will display the available content created for that type.

• Videos - Video On Demand
• Live - Live Events

Brackets display the amount of video containers for that video type.

Selecting either Videos or Live in the top menu will change the create button to its video type.

Enter the name (or a portion) of the item name/title to search for it in your library. Click the 'Magnifying Glass' to enter your search.

There is a limit of 20 characters that can be used.

Change the layout of the dashboard and how it displays the content. Both views have the same functionality/buttons.

List View - Displays library items in a vertical list

Grid View - Displays library items with large icons in a tabular position

Organize your content and select the order you'd like the library items to be displayed from the library view. The sort order does not affect anything else on your site.

Sort by:

• Title
• Date Create
• Event Time (Live only)

The thumbnail represents the video container and will appear on the front end in a video slider and other pages. The thumbnail image in the back end library will show different video states while the video is processing.

Each video container has a title that you've named it and will show up under the Title column. The title column is sortable.

By default all video containers use the English language. The 'En' part becomes important if your platform has Multi-Language activated to configure a French language to the same container. Then on the front end a user can toggle between the En and Fr versions.

You can still enter any language you want in the container details.

There are 3 states a video container can be in:

• Published - Content is published and available to view on the front end
• Unpublished - Content is not published and unavailable on the front end
• Needs Approval - Content is awaiting approval from a Site Admin 
  • (supported by the Community Upload feature)

Date the video container was created.

Start time for a Live Event. The Event Date column is for Live only.

Name of the user who created the video container and uploaded the first video to it.

The state of a video container determines if the that video can be used on the front end of your site.

• Unpublished - Not ready for your audience to view and does not appear on the front end of the platform
• Published - The video is ready to for your audience to watch and is accessible on the front end of the platform

Toggle the state to switch between unpublished and published.

1. Click Edit on the video tab in the dashboard
2. The video container will open to make changes
3. Edit as necessary
