The sorting method can significantly impact content discovery, particularly when multiple videos are displayed on the page, how they will be sorted by default. Options like release date, popularity, or user rating can each provide a different browsing experience.
- Set types of videos to show (all, full videos/episodes, short videos, trailers, clips):
This affects how users browse and discover content, e.g. what type of videos should be displayed in title and episode pages (if there is more then one video attached). Consider your content library and user preferences when configuring this option.
- Choose default sorting method for multiple videos:
The sorting method can significantly impact content discovery, particularly when multiple videos are displayed on the page, how they will be sorted by default. Options like release date, popularity, or user rating can each provide a different browsing experience.
- Enable/disable full movie/episode play on "play" button click:
This setting affects user expectations when clicking the play button. If disabled, consider clearly indicating what will play (e.g., full movie or episode) to avoid user frustration. When this setting is disabled, clicks on "play" buttons across the platform, will enable viewing of all content from full movie or episode to trailers and clips.
- Show/hide alternative videos on watch page:
Similar/alternative videos offer recommendations to the viewer to the main content they are watching.
- Enable/disable play button on main title header:
A prominent play button, displayed on main title header, can encourage immediate engagement but may also lead to accidental plays.
- Set possible video qualities (regular, SD, HD, 720p, 1080p, 4K, 8K, 1440p):
Offering multiple quality options allows users to balance video quality with their internet speed. Consider implementing adaptive bitrate streaming to automatically adjust quality based on the user's connection. Default quality preferences is added manually in the this designated area.
