Happy hosting!

📚Refreshed Content Library

2023-12-13T15:44:32.211Z

We’re rolling out some updates to the Content Library!

Archived Media Tab: Where Past Meets Present
No need to navigate to the side, we’ve relocated archived media to its own tab in the Content Library. Take advantage of filters to zero in on what you’re looking for. Archived media are not embeddable nor shareable, and do not count towards your plan’s media limit.

Media Tab: Spotlight on the Shareable Stuff
The Media Tab is now exclusively for all the media in your account that you can share and embed, and that counts towards your plan’s media limit. Keep it sleek, keep it simple.

Access Control
Only account owners and managers have access to the Archived Tab and Media Tab in the Content Library.

What’s Next? Stay Tuned!
We’re not stopping here! More updates, tweaks, and maybe a bit of wizardy coming your way in the Content Library. We’re all about keeping things fresh and user-friendly.

Stay organized!

📹 Updates to Wistia Live

2023-10-30T20:34:33.785Z

We’ve made some important updates to our live events to bring you a more reliable and stable experience. While most of this work was updating our infrastructure in the back end of Wistia, there are a couple of things you’ll notice on the surface, too:

You can now invite dozens of Panelists to join your event! As the host, you can bring panelists on stage to present, or they can hang out backstage to interact with your audience via the chat and Q&A.
- Keep in mind that there is a limit of 4 streams that can be brought on stage at once. Streams include hosts, panelists, and screen shares.
On top of that, there is no longer a restriction on how many hosts can enter the event! Collaborate with your co-host to moderate chat, bring people on and off stage, and change layouts for a seamless experience.
We’ve improved the resolution for live events, so that the highest quality for individual camera feeds is 1080p.
Lastly, you’ll notice the Host & Panelist display names now show up for your audience, so they can easily keep track of who’s presenting.

⬆️ See upload progress at a glance

2023-10-17T20:12:01.067Z

We're so excited to introduce the newest way to freely (and flexibly!) manage your uploads and other tasks.

Meet your new activity tray, the place you’ll always be able to see what’s in progress right in your navigation bar. This nifty little feature will keep you in the loop by showing you the progress of your uploads, along with any failed or completed tasks.

We’re excited to make your life easier, one upload at a time. Keep an eye out for this new experience, and enjoy smoother, more efficient uploads and tasks. Your feedback has been invaluable in shaping Wistia, and we can't wait to hear what you think about this one!
