VideoTags Plugin
This plugin allows you to tag and filter your videos, providing an easy way to organize them. To get started, create the types of tags you want to use by clicking on the blue button on the plugin page. This will take you to a page where you can create and edit tags, such as "Genre" or "Author". You can create as many types as you need.
Once you've created your tags, they will appear in your video manager when you edit a video. To add a tag, simply type it in the appropriate box and hit "Enter".
To filter your videos by tag, go to the main page where you can see all your tags, and click on one of them. This will display all videos with the selected tag.
In addition to helping you organize your videos, tags can also improve your website's SEO. By including relevant tags on your videos, you make it easier for search engines to understand the content of your website and display it in relevant search results.
When creating tags, it's important to use descriptive words and phrases that accurately reflect the content of your videos. Think about what keywords someone might use when searching for the type of content you're offering and include those in your tags.
By using tags effectively, you can increase the visibility of your videos and attract more viewers to your website. So don't underestimate the power of tags for both organization and SEO purposes!
Tags can also automatically generate playlists based on the videos they're associated with. When you click on a tag, you'll be taken to a page that displays all the videos with that tag, organized from the most recent to the oldest.
This feature can be particularly useful if you have a lot of videos on your website and want to make it easy for viewers to find related content. For example, if you have a cooking website, you could create tags for different types of cuisine, such as "Italian" or "Mexican". When a viewer clicks on one of these tags, they'll be taken to a playlist of all the videos associated with that tag, making it easy for them to find and watch all your Italian or Mexican recipe videos in one place.
By using tags to create automatic playlists, you can provide a better user experience for your viewers and encourage them to spend more time on your website. Plus, it's another way to keep your content organized and easily accessible.
Another useful feature of tags is that users can subscribe to them, just like they would subscribe to a user's channel. When a user subscribes to a tag, they'll be notified whenever a new video with that tag is added to your website. This can help keep your viewers engaged and coming back for more content.
Additionally, when a user subscribes to a tag, that tag will appear on their first page as a recommended video, alongside other videos that are similar to the tags they've subscribed to. This personalized experience can help your viewers discover new content that's relevant to their interests and keep them engaged with your website.
Overall, allowing users to subscribe to tags can help increase engagement on your website and encourage viewers to explore more of your content. It's just one more way that tags can help improve the user experience on your website and keep your viewers coming back for more.
The VideoTags plugin offers a convenient feature known as showTagsOnEmbed. When you enable this option, an exciting overlay of tags is displayed when you play an embedded video on a page. This can provide viewers with valuable context and information about the video's content, enhancing their experience.
This feature is particularly useful for providing quick references to keywords, topics, or themes covered in the video. It enhances engagement and helps viewers quickly grasp the video's context.
Imagine you have a video discussing different programming languages. If you embed this video on a blog post about programming, enabling showTagsOnEmbed will display tags like "Python," "JavaScript," "Java," etc., as an overlay on the video player. This ensures that viewers can immediately identify the programming languages covered in the video.
By enabling showTagsOnEmbed, you're enhancing the viewer experience and providing them with valuable information at their fingertips.
Give it a try and see how it transforms the way your audience engages with your videos!
