Before you upload a video on the platform, you need to create its Title page.

The Titles page allows you to manage and overview all content available on your OTT STREAM platform. This section guides you through its key features and functionalities to enable you to efficiently manage your content library and enhance your viewers' experience.

At the top of the page, you'll find a search bar to quickly find specific titles, allowing for efficient navigation through large content libraries.

Next to it, there are three action buttons:

a) "Filter": Use this to refine the displayed titles based on various criteria, such as genre, release date, rating, runtime, language, countries, age rating, budget, revenue, type, views, poster, date of creation and last update.

       .
