[ARCHIVED] Studio Video Description

[JACOBSEN_C]

I don't see in the Studio roadmap addressing video description.  Am I missing it, or does this need to be added?

Hey there, @JACOBSEN_C …

The link you provided (possibly front the old Community site) doesn’t point to the correct area any more…from what I can tell.  Do you recall what the issue with the video description was?  Has this been resolved since you posted back in 2019?

I think I remember the issue being that it doesn't exist as an option in Studio.

Clint ( @JACOBSEN_C ), can you elaborate on what you mean by video description not being an option?

Studio allows you to add a description to a video, it just doesn't display it anywhere useful in Canvas.

You can access/modify it and other information through an API call.

What I started doing to organize my videos was to keep a spreadsheet that would sync with the information in Studio. I had a script that would scan a page, look for the ID of the video, and then add the Studio link and description automatically rather than using the embed feature of Studio directly. This was because I got tired of having to retype things. The spreadsheet was because the Studio API limits you to about one call per second or it quickly shuts you down and having a spreadsheet locally meant I could read the information from there.
