      We’ve introduced a new blueprint course functionality that automatically publishes quizzes across copied courses. When enabled, a master, or “blueprint” course, serves as the blueprint for all linked courses, automatically adding quizzes to all copied courses. This eliminates manual republishing when updating content. The feature works with all quiz publishing methods and also applies when unpublishing content.

This time-saving functionality mirrors our existing Course Channels workflow, eliminating the need for manual user addition and streamlining permission management for departmental shared folders across your organization.

    7. Improved Live Stream Connection Recovery Notifications

The system automatically resumes the stream if the connection is restored or removes the notification if the interruption persists.

      Improved live stream connection recovery notification.

    8. Redesigned LMS User Provisioning Interface for Enhanced User Experience

      We’re introducing a new Audio Description Editor to help institutions create and edit Enhanced Audio Descriptions directly within the Video Platform to describe scenes for those who are visually impaired. This allows for pinpoint accuracy on where you would like the Enhanced Audio Descriptions to be read, by positioning the playback bar at the desired scene and writing out your descriptions.

      Not sure how to describe a scene? If you have GenAI PowerPack enabled on your Video Platform, our Gen AI comes integrated with our editor to help you write enhanced descriptions with a simple click of a button.

    2. Upload a SRT or VTT File for Enhanced Text-to-Speech Audio Descriptions and Use Our Editor to Make Updates
      Have an SRT or VTT file ready for your Enhanced Audio Descriptions? Simply upload it directly to your video for Enhanced text-to-speech Audio Descriptions. If you need to update the file, our Enhanced Audio Description editor makes it easy to make manual adjustments. Plus, if your platform has the GenAI PowerPack enabled, you can use Gen AI to enhance and update your existing descriptions.
      An image showing the location to upload SRT or VTT file to add enhanced audio description in the Video Platform.
    3. The Media Player Pauses and Narrates Videos with Embedded Text-to-Speech Audio Descriptions
      In traditional cases where audio descriptions are provided, natural pauses in dialogue may not provide sufficient time to describe the scenes for those who need assistance. To address this issue, the Media Player automatically pauses videos to read your Enhanced Audio Descriptions in a natural way that provides enough time for viewers to understand the entire context of the scene.
      The Media Player includes an Enhanced Audio Descriptions option that allows users to skip the audio description.
    4. Pin Frequently Used Folders and Channels to the Video Platform’s Sidebar
      Easily keep track of important folders and channels by pinning them to the sidebar on the Manage Media page. In a future release, we will provide additional account-level and institutional-level customization capabilities.
      An image highlighting the pinned item in the side panel of the Video Platform.
    5. Protect Your Account With Two-Factor Authentication  
      As an institution admin, you can manage two-factor authentication on a role basis for all non-admin and admin users. This will ensure that when you or other users attempt to sign in to the Video Platform, they will be required to enter a six-digit authentication code sent to their email. By default, this feature is enabled for admins and can be managed for all roles by navigating to the Admin Panel > Platform > Platform Settings > Additional Options > Security & Privacy.
      An image highlighting the MFA settings in the Video Platform.
    6. The Authentication Page Has Been Updated With a New Modernized Interface
      If you are not logged into the Video Platform when you access a direct link, you will see our new authentication page, which is better aligned with our branding theme by providing an updated color palette and visuals.
      An image highlighting the Single SSO authentication in the Video Platform.
    7. Instructors Can Access the Content Report for Videos Through the Media Details Window
      As an instructor and course owner, you can now easily access the Content Report for any video through its Media Details window. This will ensure when you’re in a course, you never have to manually navigate to the Content Report to see video analytics.

    8. More Streamlined Publishing Capabilities for Recordings
      Previously, only after creating a recording did you have the option to publish it to your desired channels and save it to personal folders. Now, you can customize the publish and save locations anytime before or after the recording by accessing the settings for the Browser Capture.An image showing the browser capture studio with the Update Video Details window highlighted.
    9. Improved the Responsiveness for the Usage & Analytics Content Report
      We have updated the Content Report in Usage & Analytics to be more responsive on various screen sizes by adjusting spacing and alignment issues.
    10. More In-Depth Audit Logs to Track Deleted Items and Mobile Activities
