Best Practices:
By optimizing your metadata, you can make your videos more attractive and search-friendly.
Choose a clear, impactful, concise title that accurately reflects the content of your video. The title is the the first thing users will see.
A good title should : 
  • Clearly state the main topic of the video
  • Feature powerful keywords first
  • Be short and catchy
The description provides additional information about your video.
A good description should: 
  • Repeat the main keywords of the title
  • Describe the video in just a few sentences
  • Contain links to social media and/or other videos
Tags are keywords that describe your video.
Relevant tags should:
  • Repeat the main keywords of the title/description
  • Add the name of the channel/program
  • Add few additional keywords 
Note: You cannot exceed 10 tags per video.

Age gate

Some content may not be appropriate for all viewers. Channels can use age gates to prevent logged out users and minors from accessing inappropriate content. 
When evaluating whether content is appropriate for all ages, here are some of the things we consider:
  • Violence
  • Nudity and sexually suggestive content
  • Harmful or dangerous activities
If you are looking to monetize your video, please review our policies as age-restricted videos are not eligible for monetization and are not shown in certain sections of Dailymotion.
You can learn how to add an age gate to a video in our basic video settings article.
