I hope you’ve all enjoyed your first week back at school. Oh, who am I kidding? You’re probably already exhausted, disheveled, and pining for the weekend. But if you can pause counting the seconds until you’re free for just a few minutes, I’d like to share some exciting new features hitting the Video Platform this week. So sit back and (try to) relax, because this one is plentiful.
Slide-Out Channel Bar and Branding Options for Enterprise VideoTube
The Enterprise VideoTube now features a slide-out Channel Bar, which displays public channels in an easy-to-view list. Admins can also update the branding by customizing background and text colors, as well as personalizing the masthead image. In future releases, we’ll introduce the ability to create custom pages and playlists, along with new permission management capabilities. Stay tuned so you don’t get FOMO!
New Data Visualization Capabilities for Content Report
We’ve streamlined our Content Report by merging multiple tabs into a unified, engaging interface. Key highlights include:
- Updated Summary Cards with at-a-glance statistics and integrated graphs.
- The Hot Spots panel now features a video overlay with highlighted segments to indicate the most-viewed parts.
- An improved Playback list with analytics detailing audience retention.
Upgraded Activity Panel With Improved User Interface
We’ve rebranded the Notifications Panel. That’s right. From here on out, it shall be known as… wait for it… the Activity Panel! But that’s not all: we’ve also added valuable insights, data summarization, and filtering tools. Just trust me, it’s cute, you’ll love it.
New Audio Player Interface With On-Screen Visual Waveform
A new, more modern Audio Player provides listeners with an upgraded experience when listening to audio-only content. The new player design introduces an on-screen visual indicator, featuring a colorful waveform that synchronizes with the active audio. This waveform will also dynamically adjust in response to the audio’s volume.
New Sub-Admin Permission Management Console and Framework
Over the coming releases, the Sub-Admin role configuration will become more flexible. We’re talkin’ contortionist levels of flexibility here, people. Anyway, to support this, we’ve introduced a new Sub-Admin Permission Management Console™ alongside a Capabilities Framework™ (our lawyers have been busy). This will enable Sub-Admin roles to better align with Admin Panel and, most importantly, platform-level capabilities.
Video Editor Now Offers Light Mode and Dark Mode Options
In a previous release—May, to be exact—we introduced a fully redesigned Video Editor, with a dark theme to help alleviate eye strain. Well, we’re now offering the option to choose Light Mode, for those of you who prefer eye strain. Or just… you know, a brighter interface.
Increased Import Speed for Zoom Recordings Ingestion
We’ve enhanced our import time for Zoom recordings by introducing a new Zoom architecture that transitions from an hourly “pull” to a synchronized “listener” model. I don’t know what that means either. But rest assured you can expect your recordings within minutes (or so I’m told).
We’ll, it’s been a slice. Thanks for taking time out of your day to listen to me ramble. I hope I was an adequate distraction. As always, I hope you enjoy using the YuJa Enterprise Video Platform.
