thousand pictures?
 Videos are revolutionizing the way teams and organizations communicate with
each other

 Intranet video portals for the enterprise
 Sharing information across the entire organization
 video experience in SharePoint 2013 is enhanced greatly-the videos are easier to
upload
 UI is clean and simple
 Videos are easy to search
 And more! Let’s walk through it…

3. How are videos organized?
 Videos are organized in a manner similar to document sets
 SharePoint creates a stub (think of it as a folder) to hold a video and all the
related contents, such as user-defined properties, thumbnails, video
renditions, and other documents related to the video.
 When you upload a video file, SharePoint automatically creates this stub for
that video.

4. The new video player page
 SharePoint 2013 offers a video player page for each video, which surfaces the
video with its metadata and all the properties the user fills in
 Name, description, owner, the people in video, and keywords-to name a few..
 Videos can be played from the video player page
 Users can also enable a download link and embed code in the video player
page
 Video player page has the ability to add related items.
 Simply drag and drop the relevant files that you feel the viewers of this video
should see. Everything is in a single page!

7. Media players in SharePoint 2013
 Built-in HTML5 media player that is used to play all video files that are
compatible with the HTML5 <video> implementation for the current browser
 Play videos on mobile devices such as iOS that don’t support Silverlight
 If the format is not playable by the HTML5 player, then we use Silverlight
 If the format is not playable by the HTML5 player, then we use Silverlight
 Player streams video content using the BLOB cache, progressive streaming,
and bit-rate throttling in the same manner as the SharePoint 2010 media
player.

9. Uploading a Video
 Upload videos to a library that has the video content type enabled
 Asset Library, which is customized for storing digital assets
 Enable the video content type in other libraries
 Uploading a video is as simple as dragging the files into the drop target
 Simplifies life when it comes to uploading hundreds of files to a library

10. What if you want to surface your videos from
an external site (like YouTube) on SharePoint?
 Choosing a video from the new document drop-down menu gives you three
options
 Upload video from my computer
 Provide a link to a video
 File that resides in another site (such as videos from other SharePoint sites or file shares)
 Provide code to embed a video from the web
 For example, YouTube
 SharePoint knows how to treat each of these files and ensures you get the
relevant features regardless of the way you create them.

11. Video thumb nailing
 Two types of thumb nailing
 Server-generated
 Upload your videos to a library with the video content type enabled
 SharePoint automatically generates thumbnails
 User-selected
 Client-side thumbnail generator to set those perfect moments as thumbnails for your
videos

13. Tagging, ratings, and view count in videos
 Tagging helps viewers know the people in that video
 Lets viewers rate your videos
 Powerful analytics database that provides view counts on the video player
page after search finishes crawling your video.

14. Videos in search-find videos easier and
faster
 The Everything vertical-your videos stand out from the crowd
 Display search results from all kinds of content types
 Everything search result page - Everything search result page
 If you know it’s a video you’re searching for, the thumbnail in the search result
gives you an easy visual cue that can help you identify what is and isn’t a video.
 Hover cards and callouts-a window to your videos
 Peek into the item you’re hovering over
 Hover card shows you the video’s name, length, the people present in the video,
who uploaded it, and so on
 Watch or preview the video right then and there.
