Organize your Content Library by Category

Add your content to one or more categories to make your videos more easily discoverable for your viewers and create category lists and landing pages.

Categories 

Create as many Categories as you like and add multiple categories to media items, series, and channels. (Note: Think of categories as “genre” (e.g., drama), subject matter (e.g., politics), or other ways to create a predetermined search filter to make content more easily discoverable by your viewers. Categories are not channels.)

1. Add Category by clicking Add New on the Media > Categories page.
   1. Name is mandatory.
   2. Add optional Images for your Category landing pages and Category lists if you use them. (if no image is uploaded, your App default images will be used if needed)
   3. Add Description for SEO purposes. 
   4. System Tags are optional and mainly used internally to create lists by system tags. 
      
      
2. Edit Category by clicking on the category name on the Categories page and clicking edit. Click Update to save changes.
   
   

💡 Pro Tip - If you are using our Member Uploads system, you can select the Categories that are available for members to upload their content into by selecting the Allow Member Uploads button in the Category edit page. 

Once you have your Categories set up, you can assign one or more Categories to any/all of your individual Media Items (including VOD and Live) or Series. You can select multiple media items on your main media list page and mass add selected items to a Category.
