Categories can be displayed or hidden on a Channel Page.  Refer to this article for more information on Channel Settings

 

Category Considerations

  • Videos can be added to one or more categories. So when a user searches the video library via the Categories filter, they will see all videos with the relevant category associated with it.
  • You can not use Categories to manage member access, packages or discounts to videos associated with a specific categories.  You must use Channel to manage access.
  • A video can be added to one of more categories.
  • There is a Categories video page that can be turned on for your video library
