Irrespective of the kind of content you upload on your video streaming platform (eLearning, media & entertainment, health & fitness), there is always a scope for more! Along with the main content, you may want to upload additional content to support the primary content.
The additional content can be in any form, starting from multiple trailers & teasers, Music Videos, BTS videos, Bloopers, or simply PDFs that complement the videos you have uploaded.
These add-on assets are very useful when it comes to downloading lyrics of songs, getting to know exercises or yoga postures in detail, or even recipes for cooking. A short descriptive guide in the form of audio, video, or PDF can help users to understand the content better.
With Muvi One’s Add-On Media Assets feature, you can upload these additional assets very easily with your primary content. We support add-on assets in multiple formats, including video, audio, and pdf files. And, you can add unlimited add-on assets along with your primary content simultaneously. You can even view, edit and add additional add-on content later, whenever needed, from our asset library.
The Add-On Media Asset feature is divided into two different formats, depending on your platform type:
- Add-On Assets for Audio/Video Streaming Platforms
- Add-On Assets for E-Learning Platforms
In this blog, we will discuss the major characteristics of this feature for both formats, discuss the advantages of this feature, and will take you on a quick ride of our assets library and content upload form. So, let’s begin!

Muvi One allows it’s audio/video streaming customers to add multiple assets to their video and audio content. This content can be added either while uploading the main content, or anytime later. In fact, you can reuse the add-on assets as they get stored in the add-on library.
