Video collections

Group multiple videos into a series or program that clients can work through in order.

Collections let you bundle multiple videos under a single thumbnail — perfect for multi-day programs, course series, or any structured content clients work through in sequence.

Examples: "21-Day Core Challenge", "Beginner Foundations Series", "6-Week Strength Program"

Create a collection

  1. Go to Beyond Classes → On-Demand Video
  2. Click Add New → Collections
  3. Fill in:
    • Name — what clients see for the collection
    • Description — shown on the collection detail page
    • Featured — highlights the collection at the top of featured views
    • Hidden — collection won't be publicly visible (useful for upcoming programs)
    • View type — how the content displays when clients open the collection:
      • Playlist — videos play one after another automatically
      • Carousel — clients pick which video to watch
    • Add to category — which categories this collection appears in
    • Included videos — which videos are part of this collection
  4. Save

Add a collection to a category

You can do this from two places:

  • When creating or editing the collection, select the category in Add to category
  • From a category, click Add New and choose an existing collection

Reorder videos within a collection

Go to On-Demand → Categories, tap into the relevant category, and use the drag handles to reorder. Collections also let you drag videos within them from the collection edit screen.
