Include the other folders into the Video Library.

Right Click a folder containing videos -> Include in library -> video.

You can prompt user to select a folder and add the folder to the video library like this:

StorageLibrary videoLibrary = await StorageLibrary.GetLibraryAsync(KnownLibraryId.Videos);
await videoLibrary.RequestAddFolderAsync();
