Video Details
Every video in the Media Library has its own page, where you can edit its information, change its thumbnail, get its embed code, publish it to social media, manage its subtitles and see its analytics.
To open it, go to Media Library and click the video.
The video page has these tabs:
| Tab | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Metadata | The video's information and settings, described below. |
| Thumbnail | The preview image shown in the player. See Thumbnail. |
| Embed Video | The embed code for your website. See Embed Video. |
| Social Media | Publish the video to YouTube, Facebook or TikTok. See Publish to Social Media. |
| Subtitles | Upload, generate and translate subtitles. See Subtitles. Shown only if subtitles are enabled for your account. |
| Analytics | Embeds, plays and viewing completion for this video. See Video analytics. |
A video can't be edited while its publisher or its show is inactive. The page shows a warning, and the video is unavailable for playback outside the dashboard.

Click Save changes to apply your edits.
At the bottom of the tab you can see the video's UUID (used in embed codes and API requests), who created it and when, and who last updated it.
