| 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 update only applies to the currently selected speaker. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +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. |

| 61 | + |
| 62 | +1. Go to the transcript line you want to assign a different speaker to. |
| 63 | +1. Select a speaker you wish to assign from the list. |

| 66 | + |

| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## Limitations |
