Introduction

Muvi One’s Content Partner Portal feature allows you to add content partner(s) who can add content (video, audio, Live Streams) to your streaming platform, through the Content Partner Portal. Once you add a content partner, he/she can log in to the Content Partner Portal. After logging into the Partner Portal, a partner can add video and/or audio content, view the analytics, etc. You can also give different permissions to the content partner to allow them to add content to your content library, review their content before publishing, allow them to share the People Library, etc. The content Partner feature allows you to add a partner, edit a partner or delete a partner. First, you need to enable this feature in your CMS before adding any content partner.

Note: Content Partner Portal is a paid feature. You can take a 14-day Free Trial before purchasing it. Once the Free Trial is over then you will see the payment option to subscribe to the Content Partner Portal feature.

How to Enable Content Partner Portal

To enable the Content Partner Portal in the Dashboard, navigate to “Content Management” -->” Content Settings” in the Dashboard.
Click the “Settings” tab.
Scroll down to "Advanced Options".
In “Content Partner Portal”, enable "Allow partners to upload content".
The “Content Partner Portal" will be activated, and you can view it in the Dashboard Menu.

Adding a Content Partner

To add a Content Partner, click on the "Content Partner Portal" menu in the Dashboard.
Click on the "Partners" tab.
Click on the “Add Partner” button.
Type the “Full Name” of the content partner.
Type the “Email” of the content partner.
Type the “Phone Number" of the content partner with Country Code (optional).
Click on “Save”.
The new content partner will be added, and you can view the details in the Dashboard.
Once the new content partner is added, he/she will get the login details in his/her email address.
Repeat the process to add multiple content partners.
You can also edit the Content Partner details and remove a Content Partner from the Dashboard.

Manage Permissions for Content Partners

After adding a Content Partner, you can either grant or revoke different permissions for them. You can allow partners to add video and/or audio content, specify which content categories they can access, enable/disable content review, enable/disable People Library access, and allow them to have their own profile page.

To manage permissions for the content partners, click on the "Content Partner Portal” menu in the Dashboard.
Click on the "Manage Permissions" tab.
Select what types of content the Content Partner can add. Select “Audio” if you want the content partner to add only audio content.
Select “Video” if you want the content partner to add only video content.
You can also select both if you want your Content Partner to add both video and audio content.
Under “Categories”, select the Content Categories that the content partners can access while adding content in the Content Partner Portal. You can select multiple content categories.
Click on “Save” to save the content categories for the Content Partners.
Under “Content Review Workflow”, select the option “Review Content Before Publish” if you want to first review your Content Partners' content before publishing it on your website and/or app. If you do not select this option, then the content added by the content partners in the Content Partner Portal will be directly published on the website and/or app.
Under “People Library”, select the option “Allow partners to share admin people library” if you want to share your People Library with the Content Partners. So, your Content Partners can add the cast and crew from your People Library.
Select the option “Allow partners to create their own People Library” if you want your Content Partners to create their own People Library.
Under “Profile Page”, select the option “Allow partners to own a page” if you want your Content Partners to have their own profile page where they can display the content.

How a Content Partner Adds Content

Once the Content Partner logs in to the Content Partner Portal, he/she can add content to the Content Library. Once the content is added by the Content Partner, it will be visible in the Admin’s Content Library, and the content will be published on the Admin’s website and/or app.

We have shown here how the content partner can add video content. The steps are similar to adding audio content.

To add content in Content Partner Portal, navigate to “Content Management” -->” Content Library”.
Click on "Add New".
Click on the “Edit Icon” at the top to change the content name from “Untitled Video” to a name that you want to add for the video.
On the right side, select the “Content Type” (e.g., Video/Audio).
Select the “Group” (e.g., Video/Audio).
Select the “Content Format” (e.g., Default).
The “Permalink” will be automatically generated based on the content name.
Select the “Categories & Subcategories” from the dropdown menu. (Click here to know how to add and manage “Categories and Subcategories)
Under “Add Primary Media”, click on “Add” to upload a video for the content.
Select the “Encoding Profile” from the drop-down menu. If you have not created any encoding profile, you can select “Default Video Profile”. Click here to know how to create an encoding profile.
You can select a video from your computer or select a video from the Asset Library (if you have already uploaded the video to the Asset Library). You can also “Drag and Drop” video files to the dialog box.
Click on “Save and Continue” in the top right corner.
The content information will be saved, and video content will be created.
Adding Preview, Posters & Banners

Adding Addons (Video, Audio, PDF, External Links)

Click on the "Advanced Tab" to add an advanced content option.

Saving & Publishing the Content

Click on “Save and Publish” in the top right corner to save the details and publish the content immediately.
You can select “Save and Schedule” if you want to publish the content on a future date.
You can select “Save as Draft” if you want to make further changes to the content and publish it later.
Once the content is added, you can view it in the “Content Library”.
Click on the “Preview Button” on the content to preview it in the Dashboard.

How Admin Review Contents Added by the Content Partners

Once the content is added by a Content Partner, and the admin has enabled the Content Review option in the CMS, then the content will not get published. The content will be published only when the admin gives his/her approval.

To review a Content Partner’s content, navigate to “Content Management” -->” Content Library” in the Dashboard.
In the Content Library, you can see the content "Approval Pending".
Click on the "Edit Icon" below the content.
In the Content Edit page, click on “Approve and Publish” to approve the content.
Once the content is approved, the encoding process will start, and then it will be published on your website and/or app.
The content status will change to "Published".
The Content Partner will get an email notification when the content is published.
If you want to reject the content, then click on “Reject”. If you reject the content, then the content will not get published on your website and/or app.
The Content Partner will get an email notification if the content is rejected by the admin.
Once the content is published, the Content Partner can view the status in the Content Partner Portal.
