Dear Partners and Publishers,
We hope that you are safe during these tough times and that you, your coworkers and your family stays healthy. As we have already written, here at BRID.TV we are making sure to follow all the safety measures and guidelines as our team always come as a priority.
We were among the first (if not the first) to start working from home and did all in our power to protect our employees and their families. But that doesn’t mean that work has stopped and that we are not still very committed to you, our partners, publishers, our company, and BRID.TV as a project. In these troubling times, we have published one of the biggest updates so far and that’s just a small part of the things we have planned for the next couple of weeks.
Let’s dig in!
Changes and improvements in the 5.0.0 Brid.TV Platform Update
One of the biggest updates brings new features to the video carousel and analytics, as well as smaller improvements in many other fields:
- Added a new video carousel section in our analytics so you can track basic data for your video carousels. This is phase 1 of a 2 part release. The next release will have statistics per carousel slide.
