Adding a Category to a Video or Videos

We use categories to add videos to a Course Media Gallery and to submit a video to be captioned.

Adding a Category to a Single Video

Steps to add a Category to a Single Video

First, find the video you are looking for .

Click on the Video Name:

Search or browse for the Category:

Search:
You will generally use the category search when adding the 6-digit Course ID category to add a video to the Course Media gallery to find the pre-existing category:

Browse
You will generally use browse to assign a captioning category to a video, click “Browse Categories”:

The browse to the appropriate category:

Then click “Change Categories”.

After using either the Search or Browse option, be sure to save the video when you are done.

Adding a Category to Multiple Videos

Sometimes the name of the videos for a course is unique or there is another attribute to the video that might let you search for multiple videos at once.

For example, if teacher has named their videos:

Sped 4000 Summer21 Video 1

Sped 4000 Summer21 Video 2

Then you could do a search for “Sped 4000 Summer21” to hopefully get a list of all the videos for that course. You will want to double check that they are the right videos - but if they are, there is a quick way in the KMC to add a category to multiple videos.

Steps to add a Category to a Multiple Videos

Do a search for the course videos (consider using quotation marks) and select all of the videos for that search using the “Select All” checkbox, or individual videos:

With the videos selected, click on “More Actions” > “Add / Remove Categories” > Add to Categories:

This will bring up a box where you can enter or search for the desired category (similar to above):

Click “ Apply to all selected entries”. That’s it! Now the category you selected has been added to all of those videos.
