Video search in SharePoint 2016


Video Capabilities
SharePoint 2016 supports video playback using the HTML 5 player. Video files can be stored in an Assets Library where a pre-configured video content type exists.
Search Result for videos uses the Video item template.

What Video Search Vertical is

The Enterprise Search Center page provides a Video vertical where the user can search only on videos?




Pre-requisites for Video storage

The following are the pre-requisites:
  1. Enable Video and Rich Media feature at site collection level
  2. Create Assets library
After doing that, you can try uploading a video file into the library and perform a full crawl. Later you can search using the file name.

Activate the Video and Rich Media feature from Site Collection features.



Step 2: Create Assets Library

Choose Add an App > Go to Page 2 > Asset Library



Enter a name for the Library.


Step 3: Upload Video File

Download a 1 MB video file from the Internet and upload it to the library.


You can see the uploaded file shown below.



Step 4: Add File Type

Open Central Administration then select Manage Service Applications > Search Service Application > File Types > Add mp4 extension.



Note: a few video file extensions are not pre-configured and might not appear in the search results. You need to explicitly add them to the Search Configuration.

Step 5: Perform Crawl

Perform an Incremental Crawl for the content source and wait for the completion.

Step 6: Test Search

Open the Enterprise Search Center site and search for the video using the name.
