I just downloaded digiKam and imported several MP4 video. The video metadata
isn't displayed and therefore I cannot embed my tags into the metadata. Is
there a method for doing this in digiKam?

Thanks

Metadata from video is supported through Exiv2 shared library.

The Exiv2 0.25, the last stable have serious problems with video files. This
feature is optional in Exiv2 and certainly disabled at compilation time by
packager.

Next 0.26 (not yet released) will be better so far, and we use it in digiKam
bundle as ApppImage for Linux. You can try 5.5.0 pre release with Exiv2 0.26
here :

Note : depending of video format, some files cannot be read by Exiv2 yet. Look
in Exiv2 web site for details.
