The home page is the landing page for your company's video portal. Here, at a glance, you can see all videos and channels that have been uploaded to your company's video portal. At the top, a featured video is displayed. This video is either the newest video uploaded to your company's portal, or a specific video selected by your administrator. From the home page, you can navigate to all the other areas of CorporateTube and begin uploading and viewing videos on the portal. 

Channels

Your organization's CorporateTube administrator sets up channels, which are lists of videos related by subject or theme. Channels can be named according to different departments or intended use. Sub-channels can be created under each channel to further categorize videos.

To access sub-channels, click the main channel name in the navigation bar and select an option from the dropdown menu. From there, you can sort videos by plays, rating, upload date, or title.

First, you will need to enable metadata for the selected language in VideoManager Pro to enable metadata multilingual support.

Then, enter the metadata and channel names in the desired language.

Note that you must provide the metadata localization and the channel localization separately.

Channels

Channel and sub-channel names are displayed in the language selected.

If the channel or sub-channel name has not been translated, they will be shown in the default language.

Metadata

Video metadata refers to a the title, description and keyword of the video.

When a specific language is selected, the translation of the title, description, and keyword will be shown in the selected language.

If the metadata for a selected language is not available, the default metadata will be shown.

My Videos

"My videos" is only available for internal CorporateTube accounts that use Single Sign-on (SSO).

The My Videos area lists all the videos that you, personally, have uploaded to your organization's CorporateTube. From here you can jump to editing or deleting videos you've uploaded. You can edit descriptions and keywords, as well as video titles and adding or removing channels the video is associated with.  

Note: You can also see videos that you haven't uploaded personally, but for which you were assigned as the "Person in charge".

These videos will be highlighted in the video list with a little icon in the top left corner of a thumbnail that shows "In charge of video" when you hover over it.

This helps to distinguish between videos you uploaded and videos you were assigned.
