Media overview page
Media overview page shows the video preview as seen by end users.
Toolbar
You have a set of icons that enable various actions on the uploaded media.
The overview page provides a way to manage metadata for the media.
Registration

Statistics
Overview page displays basic analytics about the media:
Started views
The total number of views for media on the Account. A view is counted when video is played for a viewer. Pressing replay after playback has finished does not trigger a new view. Similarly, an automatically looping video does not trigger new views for each loop.
Unique viewers
The unique number of visitors that has generated at least one view for the selected time period.
Engagement rate
The total viewed time divided by number of views and media length. Or in other words, as a percentage, how large portion of a media has been consumed on average for the selected time period.
Play rate
Play or conversion rate is the number of started views divided by number of times the player was loaded on a web page.
You can click on the "More" button to get extended analytics about the selected media.
Publication
Toggle publication status of the video between Unmoderated, Approved and Not approved. More about publishing can be found in Publishing video article.
Toggle for advertising, on / off.
Properties
Can be described as purpose-specific and hidden metadata. They are used to facilitate your own unique workflows and processes, eg. Property: Product_expires = 2022-07-01. Properties are primarily used by other systems that communicate with the video platform such as a PIM, DAM, MRM or CMS. If used by users, there is a Settings option to only allow for pre-defined tags.
All metadata (Title, Description, Category, Tags, Properties etc.) can be read and written via APIs for interaction with other systems.
Note: Categories can be made hidden and then they are not visible in Videosite or returned by REST API token with access level set to Public.
