With cutting-edge facial detection technologies, Content Lab automatically detects and identifies each speaker in your video. Once Content Lab has identified the speaker, you can quickly add their name, title, company name, and avatar to make your short video clips relevant, engaging and professional. 

You can edit speaker details in Content Lab in two ways. 

Method 1: While uploading the video

When you add a video to Content Lab, you’ll see the following prompt once the video finishes uploading. 

1. Hit the Play button to watch a short video recording of each speaker. Make sure that you listen to it to recognize who’s speaking and add their details like:
   • First Name (Mandatory) 
   • Last Name, Title, Company and Preferred Pronouns (Optional)
   • You can also use the upload button in the pop-up window to add an Avatar (Optional) for the speaker. This is helpful when repurposing the video into Audiograms with the speaker’s professional image.  
     
2. Click Next to repeat the above step for the next speaker in your video. 
3. Once you’ve added details of all speakers, click Save to proceed.

Method 2: Via the settings drawer

If you skipped adding speaker details during the upload process, no worries! You can do it later using the following steps:

1. Open Content Lab and select the video you want to edit.
2. Click the Settings icon on the bottom left.       
    
3. In the Settings drawer, click Identify Speakers. 
   
    
4. Hit the Play button to watch a short video recording of each speaker. Listen to it to recognize who’s speaking and add the speaker details. 
5. Click Next to repeat the above step for the next speaker in your video. 
6. Once you’ve added details of all speakers, click Save. 

Method 3: Via the transcript

You can identify speakers in your video by using the transcript menu. 

1. Open Content Lab and select the video you want to edit.
2. Click the Transcript icon on the left panel. 
3. Select the icon next to the speaker in the transcript and add the speaker details. 
4. Click Save.
