The next video in an autoplay sequence is determined based on what content the user is currently watching
Your content can be either be organized as episodes of a show and season. Or they can just be a collection of clips
Scenario 1: The viewer is watching episodes of a season
All episodes (in ascending order) of the season will be played one after other
After which episodes from the next season of the same show will be played (if the show has seasons)
When the user is watching the last season of a show, the next video will be selected based on similar tags.
Scenario 2: The viewer is watching episodes of a show without seasons
All episodes (in ascending order) of the season will be played one after other
When the user is watching the last video of the show, the next video will be selected based on similar tags.
Scenario 3: Let's say the user is watching a video from a playlist,
All the videos in the playlist will be played one after the other
After the completion of the playlist, videos are played based on related tags
If there are no matches or multiple matches for tags, then the most recently published video will be played
Scenario 4: When the user watches random clips
The next video is selected based on related content (ie) similar tags
In case of no related videos, the most recently uploaded videos are considered
Also, the content rating is considered when determining the next video in an autoplay sequence.
💡 This ensures that your users are not exposed to inappropriate or mature content that exceeds their preferred rating. This is particularly important for platforms that cater to a wide range of users, including children and young audiences.
