Sat 07 January 2023:

App for creating short-form videos TikTok has partnered with IMDb, an online database of information about films, television series, to allow users in the United States and the United Kingdom to tag movies and TV shows in their videos.

According to Engadget, each video can have up to five tags, and each tag will link to an in-app page that includes information from the film or series as well as some related videos.

Before posting a video, users can tag it with a show or movie by selecting the ‘add link’ option.

If users choose the ‘movie and TV’ option, they will be able to browse more than 12 million titles that are on IMDb and add the one they are looking for.

This feature will benefit users who “share a lot of movie and TV-related posts, as well as those looking for content about their favorite titles,” according to the report.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the company had quietly added a ‘video-scrubbing thumbnail’ feature to its platform, which allows users to quickly find a specific section of a longer video.
