Search for folders in your account (Vidyard Business plans)

Users in Vidyard Business accounts can also use search to find specific folders. Keep in mind, your search location impacts what folders you can search for.

• If your search location is set to Anywhere, your search results contain folders from across the account
  
  
• If your search location is set to Current Folder, your search results only contain subfolders within the current folder

You'll find folders appear in a separate section from videos in your search results.

Frequently asked questions

How do I edit, duplicate, or see video insights from my search results?

In your library, the menu (3 dots) next to a video allows you to perform actions like Edit, Duplicate, and open the video's Insights. 

In Vidyard Business accounts, when your search location is set to Anywhere the menu next to each video will not be available. Change your search location to Current Folder to access the menu from your search results.
