Addressing the Blind Spot in Video DX: Classtream Releases 'Tag Function' to Solve the Problem of Internal Videos Being 'Hard to Find' or 'Buried'

I.P.L. Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Satoru Miyama) announces the implementation of a new 'Tag Function' in its self-developed video distribution platform, 'Classtream,' significantly improving the searchability and management efficiency of distributed videos.

With this update, users can now assign multiple tags to videos, enabling viewers to access the videos they want quickly and effortlessly—without relying on traditional folder-based hierarchical management.

Development Background: Solving the Everyday Challenge of 'Hard-to-Find' Videos

In recent years, as companies advance digital transformation (DX), expand internal training programs, and develop customer-facing video manuals, the volume of video content stored within video distribution platforms has surged. As a result, users and internal staff increasingly report difficulties such as 'I can’t remember where that past video was stored' or 'I waste minutes just searching for a video.'

Traditional 'partial-match keyword search' based on titles or descriptions is insufficient when memory is vague. To address this, Classtream has introduced an intuitive 'Tag Function' that enables faster information access through multi-dimensional search.

※ About the Tag Function

From the video management interface, administrators can freely assign and manage multiple tags (labels) to a single video.

On the viewer’s homepage, registered tags are displayed as a list directly below the search bar.

During searches, users can simultaneously perform keyword searches and filter results using tags, enabling rapid access to the desired video.

Key Features and User Benefits

### Prevent Search Abandonment with 'Multi-Dimensional Search' Using Keywords and Tags

In addition to standard keyword searches, users can now combine and apply tag filters simultaneously. For example, searching with the broad keyword 'sales' while selecting tags like '#forNewEmployees' or '#onlineNegotiation' with one click eliminates irrelevant videos and enables quick access to the exact video needed.

### Cross-Cutting 'Labels' That Break Free from Folder Hierarchies

Traditional category (folder) classification stores each video in a single, fixed location. However, this approach limits flexibility when viewers with different needs want to discover videos from multiple perspectives. With the new tag function, a single video can be assigned multiple tags such as '#newGraduateTraining,' '#2026FiscalYear,' or '#security.' This allows viewers to discover the same video from various contexts.

### Minimizing Administrative Workload

Video administrators can now complete multi-dimensional organization simply by selecting pre-registered tags or creating new ones on the spot when publishing a video. This eliminates the need for duplicating uploads across multiple folders—a previously cumbersome management task.

Practical Use Cases

- **Use Case**: Internal Training & OJT - **Previous Challenge (Before)**: Complex folder structures by job role or fiscal year caused confusion among mid-career hires and junior staff about the correct viewing order. - **Benefit After Implementation (After)**: Filtering with tags such as '#salesSkills,' '#basicKnowledge,' and '#mandatoryViewing' instantly creates personalized video roadmaps based on individual progress.

- **Use Case**: Product & Customer Support - **Previous Challenge (Before)**: Instructional and troubleshooting videos were scattered, making it time-consuming for customers and frontline support staff to locate the right video. - **Benefit After Implementation (After)**: Clicking tags like '#initialSetup,' '#errorResolution,' or '#modelXX' directly extracts the relevant scene.

- **Use Case**: Event & Seminar Archives - **Previous Challenge (Before)**: Past seminar videos were listed chronologically by event date, making thematic comparisons across years difficult. - **Benefit After Implementation (After)**: Thematic tags such as '#DX,' '#caseStudies,' or '#panelDiscussion' enable cross-year, cross-event viewing for deeper insights.

Future Developments

Classtream will continue to refine its platform with a focus on usability, aiming to create an environment where both content publishers and viewers can achieve their goals without stress. Beyond enhancing the tag function, the company plans to introduce tag recommendations based on viewing behavior and further refine the user interface to maximize the value of corporate video assets.
