About
Creating awesome content is fantastic, but it's equally important to make sure people can find it. That's where tagging comes in. Tags are like keywords you add to your media item to help viewers discover it through searches. You can add tags when uploading content or later. Each tag gives viewers a hint about your content's topic, and can also help if your media topic is frequently misspelled.
Tips
Keep it simple: Use a few tags that are both broad and specific for optimal results. Avoid overcrowding tags with too many keywords, as it might affect visibility in searches.
Choose wisely: Choose tags strategically by opting for keywords likely to rank higher in search results. Use specific keywords that describe the topic you cover in your video, like "interactive lesson plans", in addition to broader alternatives like "education" which indicate the overarching topic of your video.
Use synonyms: Expand tag reach by including synonyms relevant to your media's topic. Consider the language your audience might use when describing the content.
Tag generator assistance: When in doubt, try using an on-line tag generator for tag recommendations based on your media's title or main keyword.
How to add tags
Adding tags in Kaltura applications such as the KMC is easy. Just access the Metadata or Details section and click in the Tags field, type the word or phrase, then press Enter on your keyboard.
