About Featured Videos
You can use the Featured Videos area to manually specify videos that you want to highlight. For example, you might spotlight videos that:
- Announce important information, including opportunities and deadlines.
- Publicize news, or reveal the outcome of a vote or contest.
- Introduce new tools, concepts, or policies, or explain something that was confusing.
- Replay a significant or relevant event or meeting.
Cisco Show and Share then spotlights these videos in its Featured Videos browser, which all users see.
Until you populate the Featured Videos browser for your site, it remains empty. When the Featured Videos browser is populated, thumbnail preview images for videos are visible to all community members under the Featured Videos heading.
Site visitors click the left and right arrows to browse through featured videos and, at their discretion, click a thumbnail to start playback for the corresponding video.
