Video categories

Organize your library into carousels so clients can browse and discover content easily.

Categories are horizontal carousels on your video library page — similar to rows on Netflix. Each category groups related videos together so clients can quickly find what they're looking for.

Examples: "New? Start Here", "Weekly Schedule", "Yoga", "HIIT", "Strength & Conditioning", "Stretch & Recovery"

Create a category

  1. Go to Beyond Classes → On-Demand Video
  2. Click Add New → Category
  3. Fill in:
    • Name — what clients see as the carousel heading
    • Description — optional, shown on the category page
    • Preview image — shown when using the "featured categories" library layout
    • Featured — pulls this category to the top of the featured categories view
    • Hidden — category won't show in the library (only accessible via direct link)
  4. Click Save Changes

Reorder categories

  1. Go to Beyond Classes → On-Demand Video → Categories
  2. Use the drag handle on the left (the :: icon) to drag categories up or down
  3. The order here is the order clients see on your library page

Add videos to a category

You can add a video to a category when uploading or editing it:

  1. Open the video (Add New or edit existing)
  2. Go to Categories & Filters
  3. Select one or more categories from the dropdown

A video can belong to multiple categories.

Reorder videos within a category

By default, videos sort newest-to-oldest. To customize the order:

  1. Go to On-Demand → Categories
  2. Tap into the category
  3. Drag and drop the videos into your preferred order

Hidden categories

Marking a category as hidden removes it from your public library, but it's still accessible via a direct link. This is useful for:

  • Setting up content before you're ready to launch it
  • Creating private content only certain clients have access to
