1. Find out your role
It's simple to split all members of your team into distinct tasks, such as:
- Contributors are expected to create content on the web.
- Viewers are able to watch and analyze the content
Knowing the role of each member of the library makes your Video Library easier to use and will also add another layer of protection. For instance, you can create recorded Town Halls accessible to the public as well as keep your private project folders that are limited to specific groups or contributors.
Understanding exactly what content will live in your library helps to design subfolders and folders that are easy for your team.
When you're making your folders prepare a spreadsheet or table for every type of content you'll produce. The spreadsheet will identify which groups or individuals are accountable to make the content, who the contributors are and who is able to access the content, as well as the relationship between content and one another. Here is an example of this:
| Content | Responsible | Contributes | Views | Similar |
| Advertisements for social media (Work-in-progress) | Growth Marketing | Creative Team | All Marketing | Internal |
| Town Hall | Communications | Production Services | All Company | Internal |
| Videos on how-to | Training | Production Services | Assistance | Public |
2. Simpler folder structure for faster navigation
The best way to arrange the contents within the contents of your Video Library is up to the user.
Keep in mind that contents are the main reason that patrons come to the library. As the average working memory of people can hold anywhere between three to four pieces of information in any given moment, you need to make sure your library isn't overwhelming and assets are easy to get access to.
An excellent general rule? Make sure the folders are at the highest and reduce the subfolders to nine or fewer.
3. You can customize who is allowed to view what data safely
Using SSO (SSO) lets users to login faster and with greater security. Users' identities are centralized in the cloud hosted Identity Provider (IdP) such as Azure along with Okta.
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) allows you to automatically add and delete users based on the time they leave or join the company, so the seats in your team are up to the current status of your employees.
Plus, SCIM lets you send groups of individuals and instantly update them, meaning instead of sharing data with each member in a single session the information could be shared with all members of the "Marketing" group at once.
4. Your business should be organized in the same way it chooses to be thought of
In the process of creating your folder structure You'll likely have two options: (1) organize by your company's departments (2) or according to the projects the teams work on. The choice is solely decided by your own preferences and doesn't need to exclusively be either of these two options.
From Team
Making your folder structure according to group is a simple step specifically for businesses that focus on selling their products. This is an example of the most effective way to organize your Video Library by team:
by Topic
Another method for organizing the folder structure is by the subject that is popular among companies that provide services or organizations like those in healthcare, non-profits and religious institutions or schools, as well as financial institutions. It could be:
5. Create specific folders to be used for the job.
Once top-level folders have been established It is the job of determining subfolders is the job of the user who is close to the contents, and who can foresee alllllllll the scenarios for subfolders.
Marketing such as marketing an individual from marketing could decide on subfolders for marketing, however person should be aware of the whole department. Administrator rights for certain Folders are available to those who contribute. It allows them to make subfolders inside an existing folder. The account administrators are no longer in the responsibility of governing the library.
6. Bring some color to your files
If you're adept at creating folders on the most basic level, it's likely that you'll have a large library of files to explore.
The assigning of colors to folders can make the process of navigating libraries significantly more simple. The settings for folders allow you to assign your library's folders colours that you could later coordinate according to the department or topic. As an example, the published videos might be bluewhile work-in-progress might be in colored red. The result is a vast collection of videos that can be easily accessed in a single glance.
7. Tag your video with a hashtag to reveal the most pertinent information
The notion of organizing videos according to the same characteristics is simple However, different video files typically come in different kinds of. Metadata tags can make the same content easier to find and avoid duplication of files across several folders.
Though every video uploaded to the library is searchable, hashtags (tags that are used for shorter videos)) can enhance your searchability with the help of words that are not found in the transcripts. In order to make it easier for users to keep the process organized make a manual which users could reference when they are designing hashtags.
When you add tags, be aware of the following three kinds of categories:
- descriptive tagsare commonly used when they describe the content of video. The people on screen and the recording location, as well as rights of use are commonly used descriptive tags.
- Structural Tags are the terms for the method by which the video is organised. It is usually performed using Chapter markers to identify the sections in the film.
Some examples of tags that are good which don't typically appear in transcriptions:
- Video type (Social Ad, Meeting Internal Communications. Interview, How To)
- The name of the client
- The name of the department
- Work order
- Product name
- Location
- Version
8. Make sure that the most important content is front and center
Video clips with special features
The upper left corner at the highest point of the Video Library homepage is the featured video area, where you are able to display the contents you would like your entire staff to view.
The team's owners as well as the administrators can set the video that is displayed at the Video Library homepage by clicking the link that reads"Featured Content" in the lower right-hand corner of the area with featured videos.
Live events
Owners, Administrators and Contributor Plus members can organize live events into Video Library folders, (instead of posting them to the page for live events) which allows you to locate recordings of live events faster.
It lets you stream events, and then automatically save the recordings in folders that will make the recordings much more easy to locate for all employees or just the Contributors and Viewers who have folder access.
9. Automate regulatory and legal compliance
Make it easier to manage time and stress over complying with the law by using the Video Library's tools for data retention.
Maybe you have recordings from executive meetings every day that you wish to have taken down after one month. Perhaps you have old corporate videos that ought to never be erased.
Instead of manually manipulating every asset by hand, Admins are able to define policies to manage the lifecycle of the content. The process is generally done in order in order to conform with regulations or laws in general media management.
You can set the policies within each folder. In the event that the video is accidentally deleted the history log lets the recovery of videos for up to 30 days after deletion.
10. Tags, search titles and Talk points
Search is the most important component of each Video Library. It is already known that it is possible to find tags for your video But we must admit that we're all busy, and at times tags don't get included. (We highlyrecommend it however! The video is only about two minutes of work per video to ensure long-term organization payoff. )
It's easy to search:
- Input the words or phrases you're looking for.
- Watch the video exactly at the time at which the word was spoken.
- You can also click and go to "Results" page. There, you'll be able filter your results according to the time of upload, the title and even the individual who uploaded the video.
All of it
It's you're next! Select a handful of the ten options and test the ones you like.
It'll be obvious the way a well-organized Video Library will improve team efficiency, as well as an increase of tenfold in the value that everyone will get from your video resources.
