The EnterpriseTube can now be segmented based on the organizational structure of the institution. To better support the organizational structures that exist in large institutions, we designed an EnterpriseTube which allows users to create segments based on the organizational structure of the institution. Now, organizations can have Sub-EnterpriseTubes for their School of Medicine, Law School, and various departments. Reach out to your dedicated Customer Success Manager to enable this feature.

We have made enhancements to the Media Chooser by offering a dynamic update to video thumbnails to now display recording, processing, and uploading status. Further, a video can be inserted that is still in a processing state.
- Ability to Play Some Uploaded Video Types Immediately in the Media Library
We have added an extra stage to the transcoding pipeline which allows MP4 videos (and a few other types) to be played back immediately after upload. This will provide users with the option to playback their videos almost instantaneously in the original bitrate and format, while the other stages of the transcoding pipeline are processed in the transmuted original bitrate form.

Organizations can now opt to provision channels based on the group attributes within their Single Sign-On infrastructure.
