How to Leverage the Power of Searchable Metadata in Your Video Library

November 17, 2022

Without Searchable Metadata, You’re Operating in the Dark

Does your organization’s video library sometimes seem like a dark, disorganized storage room where it’s nearly impossible to find what you’re looking for? Have you had to spend hours skipping manually through video files looking for a specific section of content? Is your company storing gigabytes of video content, but without any sort of organized index or naming conventions?

If so, you are not alone.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, today’s employees spend over 25% of their workday searching for information. And as video becomes more and more central to the day-to-day operations of many companies, it’s likely that a significant chunk of that 25% is being spent searching through video content. Unless you are a professional researcher, that’s A LOT of time to spend just finding the information and content you need to do your actual job.

How can we reduce that time? The short answer: make sure that your video library is easily searchable.

Having a world-class video management platform like Mediasite® is wonderful – but a platform is only one part of a successful overall video strategy. The next step is making sure that the content stored in your platform is searchable, accessible and easy to navigate.

Good thing Mediasite customers enjoy premier access to AI-powered video transformation tools from Vidable™.
