The simplest way to make your video library searchable in 2026
Most video libraries are organized by filename and upload date — which means finding a specific moment in a 45-minute recording requires watching it. Enterprise video platforms like Panopto claim searchability but start at $7,500/yr. YouTube's search only works on public metadata (titles, descriptions), not spoken content. Cloudflare Stream and Bunny Stream offer no search at all. The result is that organizations invest heavily in creating video content and then cannot find anything in it six months later.
Upload existing recordings or import from cloud storage. Every video is automatically transcribed and chaptered — no manual intervention required.
Type a keyword or phrase and get results across your entire library, with timestamp-level precision. Results link directly to the moment in the video.
Auto-generated chapters break each video into logical sections. Viewers can jump to the part they need without scrubbing through the timeline.
Link directly to a timestamp in any video. Share the exact moment someone needs to see, not the entire recording.
Video libraries grow fast but lose value quickly if the content is not findable. Automatic transcription and search turn every recording into a searchable document — meetings, training sessions, product demos, and company announcements become a persistent knowledge base instead of files that sit unwatched in a folder.
Panopto offers searchable video with a $7,500/yr minimum and no self-serve option. Kaltura supports search but is complex and expensive. YouTube search works on metadata only, not spoken content. Most video hosts (Bunny Stream, Cloudflare Stream, SproutVideo) offer no transcript-based search.
