# Add and curate content in AI-generated communities and groups

Learn how to bring videos into AI-generated communities and groups, review where AI maps them, choose feeds, and set who can approve content.

Videos reach your communities and groups from your own uploads, social imports, brand partners, and creators. Genuin's AI enriches each video and suggests the community and group it belongs in. You approve, change, or reject that suggestion before the video publishes.

Curation and permissions are part of Control. For the whole product, see [Control: what it does and where to start](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/control/control-what-it-does-and-where-to-start).

## Bring content into communities and groups

Content comes from three kinds of sources: your brand, your brand partners, and creators.

### Add your brand's content

- **Direct uploads**: Upload short-form or long-form videos in Brand Control Center (BCC). Learn more in [Upload videos and publish them to your social experience](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/control/how-do-i-upload-content-from-different-sources-and-post-it-in-the-community-media-network).
- **Social ingestion**: Fetch YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok content automatically through OAuth connectors. For more information, see [Sync videos between social media and Genuin](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/control/how-to-sync-and-post-content-between-social-media-and-genuin).

### Add a brand partner's content

1. Add the brand partner in your **Brand Network**.
   - Define the relationship: partner, holding company, or aspire-to-partner.
   - Add the brand name, domain, handles, and contact emails.
2. Get the partner's consent.
3. Add the partner's feeds to your placements, so their content enters the community mix.

Learn more about partner brands in [Connect Your Brand Network to Add Consumer Brands](https://begenuin.com/developers/get-started/any-business/how-do-you-connect-your-brand-network-and-add-consumer-brands) and [Accept partner content into your ecosystem](https://begenuin.com/developers/get-started/any-business/accept-partner-content-into-your-ecosystem).

### Add creator and member content

Creators subscribe and sync their social handles, and their content flows automatically into the relevant communities and groups. To bring creators in, see [Invite creators, hosts, and contributors](https://begenuin.com/developers/get-started/any-business/invite-creators).

Members can upload their own videos (UGC) from two places:

- The desktop web app, at `community.[brand].com`.
- The mobile app, when **UGC Camera** is enabled.

## Review how AI organizes each video

Once a video arrives, Genuin's AI organizes it automatically. You review the result and override it where you need to. Learn more in [How AI works in Brand Control Center](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/supervised-intelligence/adaptive-genuin-intelligence-for-brand-control-center).

### Metadata and taxonomy

AI enriches each video with a transcript, a description of its visuals, keyword tags, audio cues, and category labels. These help Genuin identify the content type, theme, and relevance of the video.

### Community and group mapping

AI recommends the most relevant **Community** and **Group** for every incoming video. You can approve, reject, or change the community or group it assigned.

### Link-out mapping for commerce

AI maps videos with a call to action (CTA) to the correct product or brand page. Select **Map Unique Link-out Videos Only** to show only one video per brand or product in a given placement.

For the link-out rules that apply across your brand, see [Manage and block video linkouts](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/control/how-to-mentrally-manage-and-control-all-video-linkouts-in-brand-ecosystem).

## Approve or reject videos

Videos wait in **Activity** or **Upload Logs** under one of four statuses: Processing, Awaiting Approval, Approved, or Rejected.

1. Open **Activity** or **Upload Logs**.
2. Find the video under **Awaiting Approval**.
3. View the video before you act on it.
4. Click **Approve** to publish the video, or **Reject** to discard it.
5. (Optional) Click **Move** to put the video in a different community or group.

To approve content without manual review, see [Set up automatic content approval](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/control/how-do-i-automatically-approve-content-based-on-pre-defined-brand-community-and-platform-guidelines).

## Choose which feed shows the content

Each feed type decides what viewers see, based on relevance and context.

| Feed | What it shows | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Brand Feed | Only your brand's content, or your content plus content from partner brands | — |
| Community Feed | Content on a targeted theme | Gaming, Beauty, or Auto |
| Group Feed | Niche topical content | Car Care Tips or Unboxings |
| Contextual Feed | Videos AI selects from the user profile, the page context, the network-wide content mix, and feed ranking algorithms | — |

## Pin, feature, and tag priority content

Within any community or group, you can:

- **Pin** high-priority content.
- **Feature** videos.
- **Tag** videos by category or partner.
- **Pin Communities** to keep them at the top of your community list for navigation.

## Set roles and permissions

Use Brand Control Center to structure your team and what each person can do. You can assign these roles: Admin, Owner, Editor, Moderator, Analyst, Viewer, Content Manager, and Contributor.

You can restrict:

- Access by feature, such as upload, approve, or edit.
- Access by community or content type.
- Creator access, to specific groups or categories only.

For more information, see [Business Account Roles and Scoped Roles](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/control/business-account-roles-and-scoped-roles) and [Community Roles and Creator Tiers](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/control/community-roles-and-creator-tiers).

## Track content performance

- Content performance by feed and by video.
- Active users and engagement.
- Creator and UGC contributions.
- Top themes, groups, and communities.
