Categories is a way for you to organize your videos. A category can represent a specific topic or a theme and when divided between them your videos can be browsed based on which category they belong to. Click Inbound → Manage categories to get started organizing your videos in categories.
Organizing categories
When you click the "Inbound" tab at the top of the page and then select "Manage categories", you are presented with a list of all your categories. If you click the "Organize categories" link in the sidebar to the right, you will be able to rename each of the categories, change the order of them by dragging the arrows and you can delete a category by clicking on the small trashcan. If you make any changes here, remember to click the "Save categories and ordering" button at the bottom of the page.
Options and stats for each category
