Video Visibility & SEO Settings

Controlling Visibility & SEO on Published Videos

With all paid plans, you can control the video visibility & SEO settings on published videos.

(Your draft videos and raw video collector responses are always private -- they can only be accessed by you and other users with access to your workspace.)

While a video is being rendered, click on the "Visibility & SEO" heading to make changes:

Or, after publishing is complete, click on "Manage Visibility":

You will see 3 options, outlined below:

Public & Searchable: the video can be publicly shared & embedded, included in galleries, and it can also be indexed by search engines (more on Video SEO here).

Public: the video can be publicly shared & embedded, and included in galleries, but will not be indexed by Google or other search engines.

Private: provides access to the downloads, but will not have a public video page and you won’t be able to embed it or use it in Video Galleries. This is a great way to publish sensitive videos you may only be sharing within your organization.

Changing Default Video Visibility

When you publish a video, its visibility setting will default to your current workspace's default video visibility setting. You can change your workspace's default setting by going to Settings > Workspace Settings > Video Visibility & SEO.

Note that changing default video visibility doesn't affect already-published videos. If you’d like to update previously published videos, you can do that on a video-by-video basis.

Video SEO

When a published video is set to Public & Searchable status, it has these important settings:

  • The video's embed codes are enhanced with special metadata (Schema.org JSON-LD video markup, specifically) that helps Google index your videos on your own pages where you embed them.
  • The video's automatically-generated public sharing page is indexable by Google and other search engines
  • The video's public sharing page is included in our video sitemap that is automatically submitted to Google
