Find the content worth discovering.
The workflow identifies relevant or popular videos from the publisher’s available content. Agree the eligible sources, recency rules and editorial exclusions with Minute-ly.com. Relevance is defined for your publication, not assumed to be the same for every audience.
Select a moment from each video.
Extract a compelling highlight, typically around 10 to 15 seconds, from each selected source. Several highlights form an approximately 60-second experience. The total length depends on the number and duration of moments.
A real product on your homepage.
The component presents one highlight at a time, with a story title, position indicator, playback controls and a clear action to watch the full video. It refreshes as new eligible content becomes available.
Every highlight leads somewhere.
Connect each moment to its original article, story or full video. A viewer can sample the current selection and choose the story they want to explore. Source URLs and content identifiers must remain attached to the generated highlights.
Measure discovery and sponsorship.
Track impressions, viewing, interactions and click-through to the original story. Direct sponsorship and other advertising opportunities can be incorporated into the experience, subject to the publisher’s commercial and integration requirements.
