| 9 | +# Edit speakers with the Azure Video Indexer website |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Azure Video Indexer identifies speakers in your video but in some cases you may want to edit these names. You can perform the following editing actions, while in the edit mode. The following editing actions only apply to the currently selected video. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- Add new speaker. |
| 14 | +- Rename existing speaker. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + The update applies to all speakers identified by this name. |
| 17 | +- Assign a speaker for a transcript line. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The article demonstrates how to edit speakers with the [Azure Video Indexer website](https://www.videoindexer.ai/). The same editing operations are possible with an API. To use API, call [update video index](https://api-portal.videoindexer.ai/api-details#api=Operations&operation=Update-Video-Index). |

| 48 | + |
| 49 | +This action allows renaming an existing speaker that was identified by Azure Video Indexer. To rename a speaker from the website for the selected video, do the following: |

| 56 | + |
| 57 | + This action will update speakers by this name. |
| 58 | +1. Press a checkmark to save. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Assign a speaker to a transcript line |
| 61 | + |

| 63 | + |
| 64 | +1. Go to the transcript line you want to assign a different speaker to. |
| 65 | +1. Select a speaker from the speakers drop down menu above that you wish to assign. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + The update only applies to the currently selected transcript line. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +If the speaker you wish to assign doesn't appear on the list you can either **Assign a new speaker** or **Rename an existing speaker** as described above. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +## Limitations |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +When adding a new speaker or renaming a speaker, the new name should be unique. |
