Control Video Settings

The Video Settings panel lets you manage every detail of a video after uploading. You can update basic information, add subtitles, create chapters, and view technical metadata. Each section is designed to help you organize, improve, and monitor your video asset. Vidinfra divides video settings into four tabs:
  1. Overview
  2. Subtitles
  3. Chapters
  4. Others
Below is a full explanation of each tab.

1. Overview

The Overview tab contains the core information about your video. You can update the name, add a description, manage tags, and set thumbnails.
