Go to MediaHaven → Videos → Add New.
You’ll see a video editor with several sections:
Title — the video title that appears on your gallery cards and single video pages. Write something descriptive for SEO.
Description — the video description or excerpt. Displayed below the title on the gallery card (can be toggled off) and on the single video detail page.

Thumbnail / Poster Image — upload a custom thumbnail. For YouTube videos, MediaHaven can pull the YouTube thumbnail automatically. For other sources, upload your own image. Thumbnails are lazy-loaded and optimized automatically.
Categories and Tags — assign your video to one or more categories and tags. This is important for organizing large libraries and enabling filtered browsing.
Subtitles — upload a VTT or SRT subtitle file if your video has captions. Assign a language label (e.g., “English”, “Bengali”). Multiple subtitle tracks per video are supported.
Publish — once you’ve filled in the details, click Publish in the top right.
Repeat for each video you want in your library. There’s no limit on the number of videos you can add.
