Dear publishers, our last week’s platform update brought with it significant improvements to our encoding offering and a new sticky player option for mobile. However, today we have several more new and exciting features to share with you!

This platform update brings with it two useful additions to our video customization options — custom intros/outros and video watermarking — alongside a few other useful features.

Append Custom Intros & Outros to Videos

As of this update, publishers can now seamlessly append custom-made intros and outros to all of their videos. This feature will allow publishers to emphasize their brand in all of their videos without having to edit each video manually.

Publishers on our Premium plan can take advantage of this feature. If you’d like to enable this feature, get in touch with our support team.

Embedding Custom-Made Watermarks

As of this update, publishers can add custom watermarks to their videos during the encoding process. This feature gives you greater control over your videos’ branding than uploading a branded logo on top of your content. If your goal is maximizing brand visibility, this option is perfect for you.

Publishers on our Premium plan can take advantage of this feature. If you’d like to enable this feature, get in touch with our support team.

New

  • Added an intro/outro video option so that you can easily append custom-made intro or outro videos to any video that you upload to your account.
