Video Optimization

Tags

Consider including tags that capture specific questions (i.e.

why is laughing contagious, how to divide fractions) in

addition to keywords. What questions does your video

address that your audience is likely to search for?

Brainstorm about these questions, and include these tags.

If you’re writing tags for academic courses or lessons:

Include the name of the course, lesson and/or

instructor.

If you’re writing tags for single, self-contained

edutainment videos:

Align your tags with high-popularity search trends.

Tip:

Are you looking to apply the same metadata settings

across several videos? Save time by using default settings!
