You can now use your Google or Microsoft accounts to log into Vidalytics. When creating a new account, simply choose either one of them and enter your current login details to create a Vidalytics account.

No more having to remember new passwords! 😉

Select how you'd like your video to start playing. As fast as possible in a lower quality to catch your viewer sooner? Or are you not super concerned with speed for a specific video and you'd like to give your viewer a crisper image, even if they have to wait a bit?

Now you can select how your video starts up from the Vid Settings page. Simply go to the Play Options section and select an option under 'Video Startup Quality'.

If you're not sure, we recommend sticking to the 'Auto' option, which will always play the best resolution possible for the video to play fast, given the viewer's internet speed.

Note: this feature relates only to quality. After the initial seconds, your video will fall back to using our adaptive bitrate streaming and will play as normally.

We have added an option to the CTA feature to show the CTA to a returning viewer ONLY if the viewer reached the CTA time during their previous session (and, therefore, saw the CTA before).

You can find and enable the new option in each individual CTA, under

To prevent any friction when using our closed captions feature, we restricted the accepted file types to be only .vtt, .scc and .srt

You can now pass Smart Vids selections as contact activity to HubSpot. This way, you can trigger specific email campaigns based on what your user has selected while interacting with your Smart Vid.

The choices work the same way as current Play Gates or Tags are being sent to HubSpot, so there's nothing new to learn if you're already familiar with those. Just make sure your integration is turned on 😉

Your upload experience inside Vidalytics just got an upgrade!

You can now bring your videos to Vidalytics straight from one of these third party services.

Simply go to the Upload page and select the one you'd like to use.

Once you've selected it, you'll be prompted to give Vidalytics access to import your videos. Grant Vidalytics permission to bring the files over, and you're set. It's that easy! 🌈

You can now upload your videos straight into folders, so you can stay organized even before going to your My Vids page.

After your videos are done uploading, simply select them from the uploads list, and add them to an already existing folder, or create a new folder for them, all without leaving the upload page!

Once you make your way to the My Vids page to make any edits, all your videos will be stored where they belong 😉

Your users have been able to use their keyboard arrows to skip and rewind for a while now, but this was only possible when there was a seeking bar present.

To make this feature more flexible to you, we have added the option to also enable these fast forward / rewind actions when there's no seeking bar at all.

The option is turned off bu default, so if you want to enable it, please head over to your Vid Settings page, open the Style section, and click on the 'Skip / Rewind with Keyboard Arrows' option.

Note: the keyboard arrows will still work by default when the seeking bar is present. This option will make them work also when there's no seeking bar visible. This feature does not work with the Rapid Engage Bar.

Interactive videos are here! 🧠💡

You can now use "choose-your-own-adventure"-type videos inside of Vidalytics to segment your viewers and give them a sense of control over what they are watching.

Create as many branches as you want, and use them to target your message to the right audience.

With this feature you'll be able to:

You can read more about this feature and how to set it up in our Knowledge Base here.

This feature is now available to users on the Premium plan or above, and accessible here.

This one is all about stats 🤓

Simply go to your stats page and click on URL Tracking on the sidebar. It'll open up a dropdown from which you can choose the specific URL parameter that you want to visualize on the table.

Your table will then apply the segment, and show you all the values for the specific parameter on the table and the player!

Another addition to the stats page is the highly requested . You can see it now in your main metrics below the video.

With this new piece of data, you can see what percentage of your visitors are deciding to interact with your video 😉

If your unmute rate is a bit low for your taste, you can try a new thumbnail or first few seconds of the video to grab your visitors' attention and prompt them to play!

Good news for our and users:

You can also based on the level of access you want to give to each of those users according to their responsibilities inside your team 😉

Find the Users Settings page by clicking your name on the top right of the app. Your page will look like this:

Go to +New User and start adding as many people as you want.

You can set specific permissions for each user, such as uploading videos, but maybe not changing their settings.

This gives you complete control over who in your business can perform different actions, based on what their role is.

We just released new integrations, and improved on already existing ones. Keep on reading for all the details...

after you have set up all the integrations you want, make sure you republish your videos, so they also get updated to pass data to these third-party apps according to the settings you have selected. You will have to republish your videos anytime you make changes to your integrations for the time being. We're planning on automating this process, but for now it'll be a manual action on your part.

We have a brand new Training Center that you can always access from within the Vidalytics web app.

For now, it includes introductory videos to the app on how to use all the features and take advantage of all that Vidalytics has to offer.

Keep an eye out for new content on this section of your main sidebar, as the plan is to release new content regularly ;)

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, hit us up via the chat!

This will be a short one: we have made a few fixes to our player that make it more reliable when playing on social media browsers.

That's all for now. Stay tuned, we'll have some cool updates coming the near future 😉

v2.7.0 is a big one! Lots of changes in this version, including:

A brand new for users that want to test drive the basic features in Vidalytics before committing to the more advanced ones 💪

Our other available plans also changed, and you can see the full details here.

Now, onto new features...

We improved our player skin by making the volume controller vertical instead of horizontal, to save space on the seeking bar.

We also added , so your users can now select a higher or lower video quality, depending on their speed connection. This is now bundled with the Speed controls in a gear ⚙️ icon on the settings bar.

We also updated the designs of the icons you already knew, to make them look more modern 😉

Our brand new Rapid Engage Bar allows you to hook your viewers at the beginning of your video, by making it seem shorter. It works by moving your seeking bar faster at the beginning, and then progressively slowing it down to normal speed, until it reaches the end of your video.

You can enable it on your videos by going to Settings > Style > Rapid Engage Bar
