Introduction
As a Content Partner, you can add Single Part Video (e.g., movies, video clips) content in the Content Partner Portal (if the admin has enabled this content option in the Muvi One CMS). First, you have to select the “VOD Single Part” form from the content forms drop-down. Then, you need to create the content by adding the content metadata (e.g., content title, description, category, cast and crew, etc.) and after adding the content you can map a video file to the content.
How to Add Content
