Auto-Generate Summaries from Transcripts
You can now automatically generate a summary for any video by uploading a transcript in the Transcript & Summary section. This feature streamlines content management and ensures that your video details stay up to date for viewers.
How it works:
Upload your video transcript file in the Transcript & Summary section of your video, or you can paste the video transcript text into the Transcript field below the text file Browse bar
Use the new toggle to enable or disable the summary display on the video’s detail page
Once a transcript is uploaded and saved, a summary is automatically generated and shown in the summary field
If you disable the toggle, the summary will be hidden from the detail page, but you can re-enable it at any time
Any time you update or replace the transcript, a new summary is generated automatically to reflect the changes
Content is indexable by Glean or via GraphQL for custom search
This automation helps ensure your video content is accurate and accessible with minimal manual effort. If you need to update the summary, edit the transcript and save—your summary will refresh to match the new content
