Timestamp |
Media timestamps are a set of playback time points and the content (including text, images, and links) displayed at those points. When you hover over a timestamp on the progress bar, the content at that time point will be displayed. Use cases for timestamps include:
|
Subtitles information | The subtitle information of the media file. It is used to display subtitles during media playback. |
Expiration time | The expiration time of the media file. Once expired, the file will be automatically deleted by VOD. |
Storage class | The storage class of the media file. VOD offers the following storage classes (in descending order by storage fees and file read speed): STANDARD, STANDARD_IA, ARCHIVE, and DEEP ARCHIVE. You can select an appropriate storage class based on your needs to help control your media storage costs. |
Block status | The block status of the media file. You can block non-compliant media content to prevent it from being further spread. |
Use Case | Description |
---|---|
Online education | Online education platforms can manage teaching videos by assigning categories and tags based on the subject content, so that students can quickly find the videos they want. The platform can also recommend relevant videos based on the category and tag information. |
Video portal | Users can specify multiple query conditions, such as category, tag, and video name, to quickly find the video they want among massive numbers of media resources. VOD files can also be associated with multilingual subtitles, so viewers who speak different languages can select the appropriate subtitles, and media content can be enjoyed and shared by users across the world. |
Live streaming platform | To meet regulatory and moderation requirements, live videos need to be recorded and retained for a certain period of time and can be deleted upon expiration. For those live videos, you can set an expiration time, and VOD will automatically delete them upon expiration to reduce storage costs. |
UGSV on social media platforms | Video communities can set multiple channels by scenario and manage scenarios by category and tag. Timestamps can be set for popular content to display the item purchase links. Non-compliant UGSVs can be blocked to stop them from being further spread. |
