A multimedia management application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to organize and manage their personal audio and video files. Typical features of multimedia management apps include an interface for viewing thumbnails of audio and video files, an interface for playing back audio and video files, the ability to create custom playlists of audio and video files, the ability to search for specific audio or video file metadata such as title, author name, genre classification, and creation date time stamp.

Multimedia management apps are most similar to photo and video editing apps, as well as broadcasting apps. These are highly specialized for managing media files, but also have some similarity with other productivity apps, such as content creation apps. The most popular multimedia management applications include Google Photos, Flickr, iPhoto, and VideoStar.

A multimedia management app needs to provide a compelling reason for users to switch from their current media management apps. The app must also convince users that it has the most up-to-date information about new music, movies, and TV shows, or it will be left behind as more and more of its competitors are launched on the market. An effective viral growth strategy for a multimedia management app is to incentivize user referrals through free credits or other rewards that can be redeemed for content.

Multimedia management apps such as cloud storage or photo sharing are subject to a variety of legal risks. These include intellectual property infringement, privacy rights, and copyright violations. Many platforms also face regulatory risks if they share or distribute user-generated content. To protect your users and comply with applicable laws, you will want to implement strong content moderation and filtering tools, and you may want to consider vetting user-submitted content through third-party authentication services like VeVID.
