Related Videos Section

The logic behind the Related Videos and how they are dynamically determined

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The Related Videos section automatically displays videos that share the same category as the video currently being watched.

This helps viewers discover more content they might be interested in.

ℹ️ INFO: This section is located underneath the video player, right across the Description, Notes, and Comments tabs. Understanding how this feature works can help you optimize your content organization.


How It Works

Related Videos are automatically generated based on categories assigned to your content. The system uses simple category-matching logic:

  1. Category Matching

    • The system identifies all categories assigned to the current video

  2. Candidate Selection

    • It finds other published videos that share at least one of the same categories

  3. Exclusion

    • The current video is excluded from the results

  4. Random Order

    • Matching videos are displayed in random order (no prioritization or ranking)

  5. Display Limit

    • A maximum of 4 related videos is shown

ℹ️ INFO: Because videos are shown in random order, the related videos displayed can change each time the page is loaded or refreshed.


Platform Availability

Related Videos functionality is available on:

  • Web browsers

  • Mobile browsers

Content Organization

Since the Related Videos feature automatically selects content based on categories, the best way to influence which videos appear together is through thoughtful content organization:

  • Organize your content into well-defined categories

  • Ensure videos are properly tagged and categorized

  • Consider how your category structure affects content discovery

📝 NOTE: You cannot manually select which specific videos appear as related content. The system generates these automatically based on shared categories.
