1. Know your responsibilities

It's simple to classify team members based on particular roles, such as:

• contributors are those responsible for creating the material.
• Viewers are able to view and assess video and other

Understanding roles within Your Video Library easier to make use of and provides additional protection. In particular, you could make recordings of Town Halls accessible to all as well as keep the folders within that you have created for your project to certain groups or contributors.

Being aware of the particulars of the material you wish to store within your library will help you set up Subfolders as well as folders which are easy to your staff.

Before making your folders, prepare a spreadsheet or table to record the various types of content you'll be creating. Tables should list the team or the stakeholders who are responsible for the content, as well as who are the contributors and also who has access and how content relates to one another. Here's an example.

2. Simpler folder structure for faster navigation

What you do with the Video Library's contents Video Library is up to the person who owns it.

Remember that the content of your library is what makes people visit the library. As working memory for many people is able to hold between three to four pieces of information at any time, you need to ensure your library's resources aren't overwhelming and assets are easy to access.

What is a good guideline? Make sure to keep the folders on top in order and keep the subfolders to 9 or less.

3. Who can change who is able to see the things that are safe

Using single sign-on (SSO) helps you sign in faster and is more secured. The identity of the user is centralized in the cloud hosted by your business' Identity Provider (IdP) which comprises Azure as well as Okta.

SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) provides the capability to remove and provision users on the basis of their resignation or their joining of the organization, ensuring that teams seats are always in line with the status of employees.

In addition, SCIM lets you send groups to each other and then automatically update to share information to each participant in one session. You are able to share your information with all members of the "Marketing" group in one shot.

4. Your business should be organized exactly the way that you think

When it comes down to creating your organization's system, you'll likely choose one of two options: (1) organize by the departments of your business (2) or based on the projects that the team members are working on. Your decision is made by your preferences but isn't required to be a one-way or neither.

 By Team

Your folder's structure to be arranged by team is an easy step particularly in companies who are focused on selling their products. Below is an example on how to arrange the structure in Your Video Library by team:

by Topic

Another way to organize the folder structure is through topics, which are preferred by service-based companies or organizations like those found in the fields of healthcare, non-profits and institutions of worship, schools , and financial institutions. This is what it could be:

5. Make specific folders for a particular job

Once top-level folders are set and subfolders have been identified, making them clear should be that of the person closest to the contents, and who can anticipate every possible scenario for the subfolders.

In the case of marketing For instance someone from marketing might decide to select the subfolders for marketing. But, the person must have a complete understanding of the department. The rights of an administrator of Folders can be granted to contributors, allowing them to create subfolders within an existing folder. This frees account admins from having to supervise the library from afar.

6. Add a pop of color to your folders

If you're adept at the organization of your primary folders the likelihood is that you'll wind in a huge library of files.

The assigning of colors to folders can make analyzing a library considerably easier. The settings for folders allow you to give your library's folders colours that can be used to organize them according to departments or subjects. As an example, the published videos may be blue as well as projects in the process of being red. The result is that a library more accessible in just one glance.

7. Tag your video to make sure that it appears on your videos with correct contents faster.

Organizing videos based on the sameness of their content sounds straightforward, however the different kinds of videos are typically in different kinds of. Metadata tags make similar videos easier to find without the necessity of dividing videos into several folders.

Although every video that you upload to your library has the option of searching for the text and hashtags (tags which are for short) could enhance the searchability by identifying the types of words not found in the transcripts. To make the process more organized make a manual that users can refer to when taggin.

If you're creating tags, you should be thinking about the following three kinds:

1. Description tagsare typically used as they describe video content. The individuals on the screen, the recording location, and the rights for use are typically descriptive tags.
2. Structural tags are the words used to define how the video will be structured. In the majority of cases the process is carried out by using Chapter markers, which identify various sections in a video.

There are a few good examples of tags which don't typically appear in transcriptions . They are:

• Videos of all kinds (Social advertising, meetings, Internal Comms, interview, how to)
• Name of client
• The name of the department
• The work order
• Name of the product
• Location
• Version

8. Check that your most valuable material is on top of the line.

 Featured videos

On the upper right-hand side of the Video Library homepage is the prominent video category, which lets you display what you'd like all in your team to see.

     Pro Tip: Team members as well as admins can select the video that is featured on the Video Library homepage by clicking the button that says featured content in the bottom right of the page with highlighted videos.    

Live Events

Owners, administrators and Contributor Plus Members can arrange live events in Video Library folders, (instead of posting them to the Live Events page) in order to make it easier to search for videos of live events quicker.

This allows you to stream events and automatically archive the videos to folders. This is more accessible to your entire team or just the Viewers and contributors that have folder access.

9. Automate regulatory and legal compliance

Reduce time and stress about the legal requirements with Video Library's data retention tool.

You may have recordings of the daily sessions of your executive committee that you wish to have removed within the next month. Maybe there are historical company videos that should never be deleted.

Instead of making manual adjustments to each asset by using a manual process, Admins are able to set policies for lifecycle for content. It's usually in order to conform with regulations or laws in general media management.

You can set policies in every folder. In the event that the videos are accidentally deleted The history log allows users restore the video files for up to 30 days after the deletion.

10. Search tags and titles as well as talk points

Search is the main aspect of every Video Library. You already know how you can find tags for your video however, let's face it: we are often busy which is why tags rarely appear in the library. (We highlyrecommend it, though! It's just a few minutes of work per video, which will ensure long-term organizational and payoff. )

There is no need to look:

1. Input the word or phrase you're trying to find.
2. Watch the video exactly at the time at which the word was spoken.
3. Go to the "Results" Page. There, you'll be able search for results by time, date, and video's title and even by the user uploading the image

Connecting everything

It's now it's your turn! Select a handful of these ten and try these out.

After that, you'll observe how having an organised Video Library will improve team productivity, and tenfold what everyone can gain from your video resources.
