New in Rewatch

Share portions of your video with clips

Today we are introducing Clips, a new tool for sharing and organizing your video content. With clips, you can select specific moments from your video in order to share with others, initiate a side conversation, or add to a collection.

Want to share a portion of a private meeting with your team? Need to discuss a moment with only a few members of your channel? It’s now possible. And, the actions you take on the clip – publishing, commenting, even deleting – won’t affect the original video.

Here are a few ways we’ve been using clips at Rewatch:

Share a moment, and keep everything else private. There are times when a private video includes a moment that would be nice to share with others. Now you can create a clip to share with the team, while still keeping the rest of the video private.

Focus the conversation. For moments that require deeper discussion, using a clip can be an effective way to foster a focused, in-depth conversation. This works great when a team needs to collaborate on a single idea or topic, as well as way of providing targeted feedback on a sales call or customer interview.

Compile a topical video repository. Clips are a great tool for building a curated, topic-based collection of content. Whether it's customer success stories, sales calls strategies, or anything else, clips let you isolate relevant moments to keep your collection focused and easy to navigate.

This is something that we've wanted for a while, and we're happy to say goodbye to the days of halting a thread once it requires something visual.

The Rewatch app for iOS and Android now supports offline viewing for all videos. Simply navigate to the video, and select “Save for offline” from the ellipsis menu in the top right corner to download your video.

All of your “saved for offline” videos can all be found in the new and improved “Me” tab, along with your video uploads, likes, and recent watching history.

Collaborating without a meeting is easier than ever with Series

Series are a new way for you to stay connected with your team, wherever you work. Record quick videos to share what you’re up to—and let your team catch up on their own time and schedule.

A series is a collaborative space where team members can share updates on a specific project, task, or topic. We think they’re great for replacing those “status update” meetings (like a daily standup), as well as bringing your team together, even if you’re remote, or not always in the same space at the same time. Series enables teams to spend less time scheduling and attending meetings, and makes it easier to stay on top of the things you care most about.

Here’s a look at what we’ve added:

• Recent Highlights series: If your channel has any video highlights, you’ll notice a new series called “Recent Highlights”. We’ve compiled highlights from all videos into a single viewing experience, with full commenting and sharing capabilities.
• Creating a custom series: Creating a series for your team is easy – simply give it a title and decide who can contribute (or leave it open for the whole channel to add to). For status updates and other recurring events, you can even add reminders that notify contributors when it’s time to add a video.
• Tools for creating and recording: Our desktop screen recorder and mobile apps are now equipped with new tools for sharing your work and ideas. Now, alongside recording a video and or capturing your screen, you can create quick, custom, slide presentations to share with your team.
• View, comment, and share: The series viewer compiles videos from the team into a single, immersive experience (but with the same transcript and commenting capabilities you’ve grown accustomed to). Add in indicators for “unwatched” videos, and catching up with your teammates is quicker than ever before.

Read why we built series on our blog, or learn more about using series in the help center.

Pin your favorite collections to your sidebar for easy access

We've made it even easier for you to quickly access the videos you need for work. You can now pin specific collections to your sidebar by adding them to your favorites.

To get started, simply click the star (⭐) button next to the title of the collection. A new section will appear in your sidebar after you favorite your first collection.

Subscribe to keywords and get notified when they're mentioned

Looking for an easier way to stay on top of conversations you care about? Good news—you can now subscribe to keywords and get notified whenever they're mentioned in a video.

When you subscribe to a keyword, you'll receive a notification in the app and, depending on your notification preferences, by email and/or mobile push.

Here are some keywords you might subscribe to:

• Your name: Hey, who doesn't want to know when they're mentioned? 😄
• Your team's name: Know when your team comes up in conversation.
• Project terms: Working on "pricing"? Get notified whenever it gets discussed.

Learn more about subscriptions in our help center.

Find videos you recently watched in your watch history

With watch history in Rewatch, you can now see all the videos you've recently watched or started to watch in one place.

Need to revisit an important discussion? Or finish a video you only got partway through? Watch history makes it easy to quickly find videos you've already seen.

To see your watch history, go to "History" in the lefthand menu of the app.

Play Rewatch videos in Slack and get up to speed faster

You can now play Rewatch videos directly in Slack. With our updated integration, you and your team can quickly catch up on videos without having to leave your Slack workspace.

Only videos that have been published to your channel in Rewatch can be played in Slack. Private videos and videos that are only accessible by link will not be expanded.

1. Go to Integrations in the admin console.
2. Click "Manage settings" for the Slack integration.

• ⚡ Publish videos to your channel in one click: Want to share a video with your entire team? Now you can publish videos to your channel in one easy click.

• 🔗 New videos now have an internally shareable link by default: New videos are now immediately shareable with members of your channel. Just send the link to share your video. Note: These links will not be viewable to anyone outside your channel, and your videos will not be published to your entire channel.
• 🔒 Draft videos are now private: If you have drafts in your video library, they will automatically be converted to private videos, which are only visible to you.

Learn more about sharing videos in our help center.

Follow people in your channel and never miss when they share a video

Rewatch makes it easy to stay connected and in sync with your team. Now you can follow specific people in your channel and get notified whenever they share a new video.

Whether you choose to follow your company leaders, your manager, or teammates you often collaborate with, you'll never miss an update from them again.

Subscribe to tags and get notified whenever new videos are added

Tags help you organize and discover important topics in your videos. Now you can subscribe to specific tags and proactively follow the topics that matter most to you.

Learn more about subscribing to tags.

Give context to your work by recording and sharing GIFs with your team

You can now use our screen recorder to record and share GIFs. GIFs are a great way for you to add visual context and get your message across quickly and clearly.

Here are a couple of ideas for how you can use GIFs:

• Capture a bug, demo a new feature, or present a UI interaction.
• Show customers exactly how to use your product.
• Present creative work and communicate design feedback.

Once a GIF has been recorded, you can choose to save it locally or upload it to your library in Rewatch before sharing it with your team.

Don’t have our screen recorder yet? Download it now and record your first GIF.

Learn more about recording GIFs here.

Monitor activity in your channel with audit logs

Audit logs enable you to quickly review and monitor activity in your channel, so you can keep your organization secure.

Admins on our Enterprise plan can now view a record of key actions taken by members and guests of their channel, including signing in, updating permissions, and creating and deleting content.

To help you identify who performed what action and when, each event in the audit log includes the person’s name, IP address, and timestamp.

To access the audit log for your channel, visit the Admin Console.

Learn more about audit logs in our help center.

Assign members to groups when you invite them to your channel

Now when you add new members to your channel, you can assign them to groups before sending the invite. Assigning members to groups makes it easy to manage access to videos and notify members about new videos that are relevant to them.

You can use groups to automatically subscribe members to specific collections, control which members can create top-level collections, and give multiple members access to private videos and collections all at once.

Learn more about assigning new members to groups.

Get notified in Slack about new comments and highlights on videos

We've improved our Slack integration to make it even easier to stay on top of recent activity from your team. Now you can get notified in Slack about new comments and highlights on videos in your channel.

You can set up Slack notifications for comments and highlights on all videos in your channel or just on videos in specific collections.

Learn more about our Slack integration.

Transcribe and translate your videos into 30+ languages

Rewatch now offers automatic transcription and on-demand translation for 30 world languages in addition to English. With Rewatch, you can connect and collaborate with your team wherever they are in the world.

Customers on all plans can set their default language to one of 31 supported languages. Changing the default language will result in all videos being automatically transcribed and captioned in the chosen language.

Customers on our Business and Enterprise plans also have the option to change the transcription language on a per-video basis.

In addition, customers on our Business and Enterprise plans can translate their videos on-demand, enabling more inclusive communication for multilingual teams.

Learn more about the supported languages in our help center.

Organize and surface related topics in your videos with tags

Organizing your videos in Rewatch helps your team quickly discover the content that's relevant to them. Now, with tags, you can organize your videos by topic and enable your team to find and engage with related videos all at once.

Tags are designed to be flexible, allowing you to group videos in whatever way is most useful for you and your team. You can tag an entire video or tag specific sections of a video's transcript. Tags can also be added by anyone on your team.

Wondering what you can do with tags? Here are a few ideas:

• Tag #newhire introductions, so everyone can get to know the new faces at the company.
• Share progress on #goals and make it easy for your team to see the latest updates.
• Track #productrequests as they come up and bring the voice of the customer to life.

To get started, simply include a #tag in a comment on a video's transcript or add a #tag in a video's description.

Learn more about tags here.

Manage your notifications with new comment settings

Notifications in Rewatch keep you informed about important activity in your channel. We've improved notifications for comments on videos, so you can see who will be notified and manage the notifications that matter to you.

Here's what's new and improved:

• Everyone tagged in the video will be notified about new comments, so they don't miss out on the discussion.
• Before you leave a comment, you can see who is subscribed to the thread and will receive a notification.
• You can subscribe and unsubscribe to threads and manage which conversations are most important to you.

Learn more about managing your notifications.

Videos now automatically resume from where you left off

Coming back to a video you started earlier? Rewatch now saves your playback position, so when you leave a video without finishing it, it will resume playing from the exact spot where you left off.

Video thumbnails also show your progress, so you can quickly see what you've watched and how much you have left.

Make your videos easy to navigate with chapters

Sharing a company all-hands or distributing a training session? Now you can make it even easier for your team to navigate long videos and find what they need with chapters.

Chapters allow you to organize your videos into digestible segments. By adding chapters, your team can get a quick overview of the topics being covered in the video and instantly jump to the segments they care about.

When you add chapters to your video, markers will be added to the video's progress bar, in the chapter menu on the video player, and in the transcript. You can also link directly to specific chapters in your video, so it's easier to share key information with your team.

Learn more about chapters here.

Improve transcription accuracy with custom vocabulary

Now you can improve transcription accuracy with support for your company's unique terms and phrases. Admins on the Business and Enterprise plans can set custom vocabulary to capture industry jargon, acronyms, and names of people, products, and companies.

To get started, head to the transcription settings in the Admin Console.

Admins can more easily manage their team's synced meetings

We've made it easier for admins to manage synced meetings for their entire channel. Now, admins can sync and update their team's upcoming meetings from the "Synced meetings" tab in the Admin Console.

For Zoom meetings

For Zoom meetings, admins have the ability to:

• Sync meetings to Rewatch on behalf of their team.

Learn more about how to sync meetings to Rewatch.

Get the full context from Zoom meetings with chat transcripts

During Zoom meetings, important ideas, comments, and insights are often shared through the in-meeting chat. And let's be honest – chat is where some of the most memorable (and funniest 🤣) moments for our teams happen too!

Now, when you're revisiting a Zoom meeting in Rewatch, you'll find a record of all your chat messages alongside the video's transcript.

To see the full chat conversation for a video, click on any of the chat comments. You can also use the timestamps to replay the exact moment when the chat message was sent.

Displaying in-meeting chat is enabled by default for Zoom recordings in Rewatch. Admins and the person who uploaded the video can hide chat conversations from the transcript by updating the video's details.

Connect individual Zoom accounts with our updated integration

Connecting your individual Zoom account

When you connect your individual Zoom account, you'll be able to:

• Automatically add speaker names to your transcripts in Rewatch.

Learn more about our Zoom integration here.

Restrict sharing to specific people outside your team

Sometimes, you need to share sensitive information with people outside your team, such as customers, partners, or contractors. Now, customers on the Enterprise plan can securely share videos with individuals who are not members of their Rewatch channel.

When you invite an external viewer to your video, a secure link will be sent to their email address. External viewers will not be able to see comments on the video, just the video, transcript, and any highlights. You can revoke access at any time.

In the admin console, admins can track which videos have been shared, restrict the ability to invite external viewers to just admins, and enable or disable external sharing for their entire channel.

Customers on all plans will continue to have the option to share videos publicly to the web, which allows anyone with the link to view a video.

Learn more about securely sharing videos with people outside your team.

Protect and manage your company's data with retention policies

Retention policies allow you to easily and effectively manage your company’s data, so you can meet your organization’s security and privacy obligations. Admins on our Enterprise plan can now set policies to automate the retention and deletion of videos in their channel.

Admins have the flexibility to set policies globally or by collection. By default, Rewatch will retain all videos unless they are manually deleted by a member of your channel.

Learn more about how retention policies work.

Transcripts are easier to read with our updated video page

Transcripts allow you to quickly catch up on important information in your team's videos. We've updated the video page to make transcripts in Rewatch even easier to read and give you more options to read, watch, or do both at the same time.

Now, when you're scrolling through a transcript, the video player will appear to the side instead of above the transcript, so you have more room to read. You also have a new option to collapse the video player and focus on just the transcript.

Prefer to watch the video instead, or want to read and watch? Hit "play" at the top of the page to just watch the video, or start playing the video at any time by clicking the timestamp to the right of the transcript.

Our screen recorder is now available for Windows

Our screen recorder is now available for Windows! With our screen recorder, you can quickly and easily communicate with your team – without adding more meetings.

Our screen recorder lets you capture your screen and camera and then share the recording directly to Rewatch, where your team can catch up and watch at any time.

You can use our screen recorder to share ideas and feedback, report on progress, make announcements, record onboarding and training videos, and more.

• Notifications are marked "Done" automatically; no tedious archiving required.
• You can like or queue a video to watch later, directly on the notification.
• Need to reply later? Just mark it as "Not done," so you can circle back later.

Share private videos with specific members and groups

Now you can share your private videos with specific members or groups in your channel. This gives you an extra layer of security and control, so you can ensure your video is only seen by those it's intended for. You can use this option to:

• Share sensitive updates with a small group.
• Provide one-to-one feedback to a teammate or direct report.
• Discuss important initiatives that are under wraps.

Here's how it works: Just select the "Only some people" option when adding a video to Rewatch and then type the names of any members or groups you want to share with.

Guests are only available on the Business and Enterprise plans.

Learn more about how guests work in Rewatch.

Highlight the most important moments in your videos

Your videos contain a lot of valuable information, but finding the key insights in long recordings can be challenging. Now you can highlight the most important moments in your videos, so it's easy for everyone on your team to get up to speed.

Show your team where to focus their attention

When you highlight parts of your video, they'll show up in bright green for everyone to see. Whether your team is watching the recording or reading the transcript, now they can jump right to these key moments.

Get caught up in minutes with highlight reels

Imagine catching up on a 60-minute meeting with a 5-minute highlight reel. 🤩 After a video has been highlighted, your team will see an option to just play the highlights, so they can get up to speed, fast.

Make your videos easy to navigate

Whether it's All-Hands meetings or customer calls, you likely cover a lot of ground in your videos. Add titles to your highlights, so your team can easily spot and watch the parts that are most relevant to them.

Get started with Highlights

To get started, just select part of your video's transcript and click the highlight button that shows up to the right. You and your team can also add comments to highlights and keep the conversation going.

Learn more about creating highlights in Rewatch.

Control which members or groups can create top-level collections

Putting your videos into collections helps you stay organized and helps your team to browse and find videos topically. Now you can let specific members or groups help organize your channel by giving them permission to create top-level collections.

Learn more about how permissions work in Rewatch.

Filter search results by collection or participants

Now you can narrow and customize your search results with filters and find the information you need faster. You can filter by a specific collection, videos with a specific participant, or a combination of the two. When you start a new search from a specific collection or on a participant's page, we'll automatically apply a filter to narrow down your results.

We've also added the ability to sort your search results, so you can prioritize newest or oldest videos.

More flexible permissions for embedding videos in your favorite tools

With embeds, you can add Rewatch videos wherever your team needs to see them. If you're updating your internal wiki, you can easily share the latest All-Hands. Or, if you're working on an issue in GitHub, you can reference decisions made in a recent meeting.

We've made our embed permissions more flexible, so it's even easier for your team to share just the right context. For new channels, video embeds are now enabled by default. This means your team no longer has to ask an admin for every video they want to embed.

We've also made it simpler for admins to manage who can create and watch embedded videos and where they can be embedded.

Learn more about embedding videos.

Share videos with people outside your team

We know that getting work done can involve a lot of people, both on your team and outside of it. Now, in Rewatch, you have the option to share your videos externally – whether that’s with customers, strategic partners, or freelancers and agencies who support your team.

You and any admins can share your videos to the web. Once a video has been shared, anyone with the link can watch the video and read the transcript. You can turn off sharing at any time.

Need a little bit more security? You can restrict the ability to share publicly to just admins or turn off sharing entirely. Admins can also see and track every video that’s been shared from your channel, right in the admin console.

Learn more about sharing videos to the web.
