# Video indexing tasks

> This method will be deprecated. Use direct uploads with separate indexing.

> **Info**
>
> This method will be deprecated in a future version. New implementations should use [direct](/v1.3/api-reference/upload-files/direct-uploads) or [multipart](/v1.3/api-reference/upload-files/multipart-uploads) uploads followed by [separate indexing](/v1.3/api-reference/index-content/create).

Upload and index videos in a single operation. This method bundles upload and indexing together and returns a task ID that you monitor until the process completes.

> **Note**
>
> When using this endpoint, you can set up webhooks to receive notifications. For details, see the [Webhooks](/v1.3/docs/advanced/webhooks/manage) section.

> This method will be deprecated. Use direct uploads with separate indexing.
