When you upload a video, Vidreno uses the file name as the title. That's rarely what you want for sharing, so renaming is one of the first things most people do.

How to edit

  1. Open the video by clicking its card on the dashboard.
  2. Look at the title block near the top of the page.
  3. Click the small pencil icon next to the title.
  4. Edit the title and the description in the inputs that appear.
  5. Click Save, or Cancel to drop your changes.

Only the owner of a video can see the pencil icon and the editing controls. Public viewers will only see the saved title and description.

What the description is for

The description shows up:

Keep it short and clear. A sentence or two explaining what the video is about is plenty.
