Manage your workspace videos in the Video library

The Video library module allows you to upload video files in order to use them in the workspace.

Videos present in the Video library can easily be added to feed posts or pages for your audience to see in the app, or imported into a live session in order to be played to the audience.

To upload video files in the video library, they will need to be in MP4 format and can be up to 4 GB in size. Instructions on how you can compress a video that is over 4 GB are available below should you need them.

The Video library is only accessible in Backstage. App users cannot access the Video library.

To access the video library, in the workspace main menu go to Content > Video library. Here, you will see a list of all the videos uploaded to the Video library. This includes:

• A thumbnail.
• A title.
• The upload date.
• The video file size.

Uploading a video

Go to Content > Video library in the workspace main menu, and click on Upload.

In the Upload window, drag and drop, or navigate to the video you wish to upload.
Files need to be MP4 format, with a size of up to 4 GB. We also recommend that videos are encoded with an audio sample rate of 48kHz.

Please make sure that you do not upload files that use the exact same filename.

Once the video is uploaded, you will see it appear in the Video library list. From here, you can access the video details by clicking on the video

Compressing a video before uploading it to the video library

If you have a large video file, you can compress the video files using handbrake.fr., before uploading it to the Video library.

Please follow the below steps:

Clock on Open source, and select your video.

1 - in the Summary tab:

• In the Preset dropdown you will need to adjust this to your video resolution, choose Fast 720p30 or Fast 1080p30. Sometimes encoding with Fast 720p30 will add a black box around the video. If this is the case, please use the Fast 1080p30 preset.
• Tick the Passthru Common Metadata checkbox.
• Tick the Align A/V Start checkbox.
• Tick the Web Optimized check box.

2 - in the Video tab:

• Make sure that Constant Framerate is selected.
