A Playlist is a collection of audio and video media files.


Administrators can create multiple playlists on VIDIZMO to organize audio/video content. When Viewer selects a playlist for playback, only those files are played which belong to the relevant playlist. Thus, the content can be organized into different playlists to ensure easy access. 


To learn more about playlists, click on What Is A Playlist.


If gamification is enabled on a playlist, then points are calculated by individual content watched by a Viewer.


For example, Media A is assigned 20 points, and Media B is assigned 0 points, then the accumulated points on the playlist will be 20. Bonus points can also be assigned on successful completion.


To learn more about gamification, click on What Is Gamification.
