**Caption** - Here, you can add a caption for the video.

**Category** - Here, you can manually create a category and add the video to it. This can be used to create a filterable video gallery, similarly as would do for a [filterable image gallery](https://nexterwp.com/docs/create-wordpress-image-gallery-with-category-filter/).

**Select Icon** - From here, you can add an extra icon or image to the video.
