Media Content Review

Notes

This function is not available in AP-Bangkok.

Review Process

VOD provides two review methods, review after upload and review before upload. Review after upload is available on the VOD console. It means, you upload audio and video and then review the content. If you want to use review before upload, call a VOD API.

Figure 1 Review process

• Intelligent review: The review module identifies pornographic, terrorism-related, and politically sensitive content in text, thumbnails, and snapshots. By default, this function is disabled.
• Manual review: In review details, check the suspected non-compliant media file again. If you confirm the problem, block the media file. Otherwise, approve it.
• Block: After you block a media file, its status changes to Unpublished. Media files in the Unpublished status can only be previewed on the console and cannot be downloaded or played. The streaming URL referenced by Internet is inaccessible.

Prerequisites

By default, a system template is used for review. If you need to use a custom template, create a review template and set it as the default template.

   You can start manual review in either of the following ways:
