Recommended For You Category

Help your members discover content they'll love with personalized, AI-powered video recommendations in the catalog and on video pages

The Recommended For You feature uses artificial intelligence to categorize your video library and your members' viewing habits, then surfaces personalized video suggestions directly in the catalog.

This creates a Netflix-style discovery experience that helps members find relevant content without browsing through every category manually.

📝 NOTE: This feature is not currently available. It is in Closed Beta for select fitness Uscreen stores only. Keep your eyes on the changelog for more information.


How It Works

The AI Video Recommendations feature has two main components:

1. "Recommended For You" Catalog Row

A new dynamic category row appears in your catalog for signed-in members, who have some viewing history, showing a personalized selection of videos based on their viewing history and preferences. The row is placed prominently at the top of the catalog to maximize content discovery.

2. Intelligent Related Videos

On individual video pages, the related videos section is enhanced with intelligent suggestions. Instead of only showing videos from the same category, the system shows videos that are genuinely similar in content, style, and topic, helping members discover relevant content across your entire library.


Catalog Row Placement

When enabled, the Recommended for You row appears in the following order on the catalog page:

  1. Featured Category (hero banner)

  2. Recommended for You (NEW)

  3. Continue Watching

  4. My Library

  5. Favorites

  6. Admin-defined categories

ℹ️ INFO: The Recommended for You category row only appears for signed-in members who have some viewing history. Anonymous visitors and brand-new members without watch history will not see this row, similar to how Continue Watching and My Library behave.


What Powers the Recommendations

Behind the scenes, the system works in multiple stages:

  • AI Video Tagging: Each video in your library is automatically categorized. The system processes video title and description metadata, transcript from subtitles, and a small sample of video thumbnail screenshots to generate detailed tags describing topics, difficulty level, equipment, workout style, intensity, duration, body focus, and more. AI does not see your raw video file. Your videos do not train AI models.

  • Taste Profiles: As members watch videos, the system builds a taste profile for each member based on the types of content they watch and complete.

  • Smart Matching: The recommendation engine compares each member's taste profile against your tagged video library to surface the most relevant unwatched content.

💡 TIP: The more content a member watches, the better their recommendations become. Encourage new members to explore a few videos to help the system learn their preferences.


FAQs

How many videos appear in the Recommended for You row?

The row displays a selection of recommended videos, similar in size to other catalog rows like Continue Watching.

Can I manually curate what appears in the Recommended for You row?

No. The row is entirely powered by AI based on each member's individual viewing behavior. Every member sees a different set of recommendations.

Will members with no watch history see recommendations?

Members need some viewing history for the system to build a taste profile. New members without watch history will not see the Recommended for You row until they've watched some content.

Does this replace the existing Related Videos section?

No, it enhances it. With AI Video Recommendations active on your store, the Related Videos section on video pages shows more relevant matches across your entire library, rather than relying solely on shared categories. See the Related Videos Section article for the original category-based behavior.

Does this work on mobile and TV apps?

Available on web today for participating beta customers. Mobile available after May 11, 2026 . Mobile app version 3.33 is required. TV app support is not yet available.

Will this affect my catalog's performance or loading speed?

No. The recommendations are computed in the background and served efficiently. There is no noticeable impact on page load times.

💬 As this feature is in early access, the behavior and availability described here may evolve as we gather feedback and expand the rollout.
