Step-by-Step: How to Edit Your Projector Content
1. Access Your Content Dashboard
- Log in to your account at ProjectorStream.com.
- Click the Account menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Content Dashboard.
This is your control center for managing all your Projector content.
2. Go to the Content Tab
Once you’re in the Content Dashboard:
- Click on the Content tab.
- You’ll see a list of all your videos and photo albums.
- If you previously saved a video as a draft, it will be in the Drafts tab.
3. Choose a Video or Album to Edit
- Click on the video or album you want to update.
- Hit the Edit button.
This opens the familiar data entry screen you used when you first uploaded your content.
4. Edit Video Details
You can now update any of the following fields:
âś… Title
Change the title to something more descriptive or meaningful.
âś… Description
Add details like the event date, people involved, or any context that helps make the memory more vivid.
Example: “Kids having fun in Florida, Fall 2002”
âś… Thumbnail
Don’t love the auto-generated preview image?
- You can upload a custom thumbnail by clicking the gray box with the + sign.
- Tip: Use a high-quality photo from the event or take a screenshot from the video.
âś… Category & Subcategory
Update the category or assign the video to a new one.
âś… Playlist
Add the video to one or more playlists for easier organization and viewing.
(Example: “Family Vacations” or “2000s Throwback”)
âś… Visibility Settings
Projector isn’t like social media—your audience is private and personal. Choose who can view your video:
- All viewers (your full circle)
- Only me
- A specific group (create and assign a group for selective sharing)
5. Publish Your Changes
When you’re done making edits:
- Click Publish to save and apply your updates.
That’s it! Your content is now updated and better organized for you and your close-knit audience to enjoy.
Final Thoughts
Projector is all about making your home video and photo memories look and feel just like professional streaming content. Taking a few moments to add titles, descriptions, and thumbnails makes all the difference when you or your loved ones revisit these special moments months or even years later.
