YuJa Enterprise Video Platform – v25.5.0 Release

This release, rolling out over the next few weeks, will introduce a comprehensive Media Collection page within the Usage and Analytics Courses page that includes course-wide content analytics and advanced filtering capabilities, while enhancing video management with in-player metadata editing and real-time video comment subscriptions. Other key updates will include the addition of automated monthly usage reports for administrators, folder hierarchies in the “Shared With Me” section, and enhanced account security with failed login protection.

1. Course Analytics Now Offers Folder and Channel-Level Insights

   A new Media Collection page will provide administrators with comprehensive content analytics and advanced filtering capabilities for better decision-making. With this release, administrators will be able to view institution-wide content performance and easily filter analytics by specific groupings, such as folders and courses.

   • Institution-Wide Performance Insights: The new Media Collection page will display content analytics for the entire institution, providing administrators with an at-a-glance view of platform-wide content performance.

     

   • Advanced Filtering: Users can filter analytics by Course Channels, Folders, User Collections, and Enterprise VideoTube through an intuitive dropdown and modal selection interface, with selected filters displayed as removable badges.

     

   • Role-Based Access Control: Admin accounts will have access to all content groupings, including Enterprise VideoTube, Course Channels, Shared Folders, and User Collections, while non-admin accounts will see only My Media Collection and Course Channels.

     

   • Seamless Video-Level Analysis: Users can click on individual videos within their selected grouping to be redirected to the dedicated video analytics page for detailed performance insights.

     

2. “Shared With Me” Section Will Support Folder Hierarchies

   Users will be able to create folders and sub-folders within the Shared With Me section to organize shared content more effectively.

   

3. Improved Display of Portal Cards on Wide Monitors

   The portal interface will implement maximum width constraints to optimize content display on ultrawide monitors and large screens.

   

4. Quarterly NPS Survey Will Collect Administrator Feedback

   Administrators will receive a quarterly Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey to gather feedback on platform satisfaction and administrative experience. This will help improve the Video Platform based on direct administrator input.

   

5. Video Comment Subscriptions Will Enable Real-Time Notification Alerts

   Users will be able to subscribe to in-video comments to receive email notifications when new comments are added to videos they’re watching.

6. Video Metadata Editing Will Be Available Directly Within the Video Player

   Content owners will be able to edit video metadata directly from the video player’s Resources panel without navigating to separate pages. The Video Info section will allow users with appropriate permissions to modify titles, descriptions, and tags through inline editing controls.

   

7. Monthly Usage Reports Will Be Automatically Emailed to Platform Administrators

   Administrators will receive automated monthly email reports highlighting platform usage and trends. Emails will provide administrators with at-a-glance insights into platform performance and user engagement.

   

8. Account Security Enhancement Will Suspend Users After Consecutive Failed Login Attempts

   A new security setting will allow administrators to automatically suspend user accounts after 10 consecutive failed login attempts within a 3-day period. This feature will send email notifications to both the affected user and all IT managers when an account is suspended.

   

9. Video Metadata Will Be Accessible in All Viewing Contexts

   Video description and copyright information will be available in the Media Player sidebar for all viewing contexts, including direct links and LMS-embedded videos.

   

10. New API Endpoint Will Retrieve Enhanced Audio Description Data for Videos

    A new API endpoint will allow developers to check whether videos have Enhanced Audio Descriptions and retrieve the description data if available.

11. The Storage Quota Tab Content Will be Moved Into the Roster for Simplified Administration

    In this release, the Storage Quota tab content will be consolidated into the Roster page, allowing administrators to manage user information and storage allocations from a single location. Quota settings and alerts will be accessible through a new “Storage Quota” button, while individual user quotas will be managed through the “More Actions” dropdown, eliminating the need to navigate between multiple admin sections.

    

12. New Unshare Actions Will Be Added to the ‘Shared With Others’ Folder

    The “Shared With Others” folder will introduce an “Unshare” action and a “Bulk Unshare” action that allows users to stop sharing content while preserving original files. This enhancement provides clearer control over sharing permissions and ensures content remains safely stored in its original location.

    

13. Sub-Channel Creation Limit Removed

    Instructors will now be able to create unlimited sub-channels within course channels allowing for better content structure and management within courses.
