Why must you consider metadata management? Video metadata is highly essential for successful content recommendation as well as providing an enhanced experience to the end-users by simple searching and watching of the video from a huge content library. It allows users to identify the characteristics of the file, making it simpler to search, use and manage videos. Additionally, optimizing video metadata and providing personalized experience to the end-user helps scale your VOD platform and retain consumers for a longer period.

 

What is Video Metadata?

It is the text present within the video content file that describes the video and includes information about the entire video file or a specific video frame. Video metadata helps streaming platforms by making it simple and easy for the end-user to search and find out the videos they quickly want to watch.

In a CMS (Content Management System), metadata is used to identify, retrieve, and link it to other content for enhanced recommendations. Adding more information about your video content, helps your end-users to search, sort, filter and discover any content internally within your platform. This optimizes your streaming platform and makes it SEO-friendly.
