Recorded Webcast Event Video Playback Linking | Event Hosts may now specify if a Webcast’s recorded video should begin playing if an event’s link is visited once the event has completed. This allows those attendees that missed the event, or that might want to view it again, to easily find and view a recording of it by simply clicking the completed Webcast link without the need to search for a video of it in Rev. Additionally, the Event Host may remove the link to the recorded video at any time, or replace it with an edited “final” version, if desired. The Video Inventory Report export has been updated with two additional columns to reflect this update; Source and Source Type. See: |
Webcast Event Templates | For customers that need to create multiple events with the exact same settings, this update introduces Webcast Event Templates. Event Hosts may save the settings of an event as a reusable Webcast template so that it may be applied to other events in the future. Account Admins can manage and catalog Webcast templates and specify a default template that is applied to any new Webcast that is created. See: |
Public Webcast Registration Fields | For those customers that hold regular public events that want to capture attendee details beyond name and email address, this update provides the ability to configure Rev’s public Webcasts to capture additional registration fields. Account Admins may define a standard collection of company approved registration fields for Event Hosts to use when configuring public events and specify which of those fields are required. Additionally, post event reports have been updated to provide a roster of public attendees along with the information collected from the defined custom registration fields. See: |
Global Video Editing Download Controls | This update modifies the global download setting to provide Account Admins the ability to globally restrict downloading videos to those user accounts with less than a Media Admin role. This means more options for organizations that have security compliance requirements around downloads and local environments. A new global setting has been added so that backups may still be made when a video is being edited (recommended) if the global download setting is disabled. See: |
Account Admin Management Updates | This update provides Account Admins the ability to download a list of all users in an account from the User Management screen (in the form of a CSV file download). See: |

SSO for Azure Active Directory | Companies using Microsoft Azure for their Active Directory Service can now use Vbrick SSO. Azure Active Directory provides a simple step-by-step user interface for connecting Vbrick Rev Enterprise Video Platform to Azure AD. You can find details in the Azure Marketplace listing at https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/aad.vbrick |
Vbrick Multicast Updates | There are now two options for installing and running the VBM agent; You may use the default Vbrick multicast playback domain name (localstreaming.vbrick.com) or use a custom domain name. Custom domain names require Rev 7.29 or greater. A custom domain name may be used other than the default localstreaming.vbrick.com (which resolves to 127.0.0.1) for those cases where the localstreaming.vbrick.com domain cannot be used for playback on your user’s computer due to policy restrictions. This is completely optional and is only required in the use case just mentioned. |
Webcast Q&A Icon Update | The Webcast Q&A icon has been updated to minimize confusion with the Rev Online Help icon and to provide a more intuitive user experience when attending a Webcast event. |
Team Filtering Option Extended to Media Viewer Role | Teams is now a filtering option for users that have Team Member access. One (or more) Teams may be used anywhere that users can filter for videos (All Videos, Video Search) and the search results will return the filters. Note that this functionality previously existed for the Media Contributor role and above and has now been extended to the Media Viewer and above role(s). |
Enhanced Search/User Name Added to Find Items | Each Find Items widget in Rev now adds the Username beneath the Full Name to make it easier to distinguish between users that have the same name. When searching for users in the “Find Items” widget (such as when adding a user to a group or assigning an Event Host), the results show Full Name and Username. The results are sorted by Full Name then Username. If any of the first name, last name, or username match the search query from the beginning to some letter after that, the matching fragment is highlighted. |
Improved Search/Load Times and Indexing Performance | Customers with extensive numbers of users that found user search widgets difficult to use due to load times should find significant improvement with this build. The search widget has been updated to improve load times in the following areas: ●Video Basic Settings ACL ●Webcast Settings -Event Host -Listing Type -Event Moderators ●Create / Edit Groups ●Create / Edit Teams ●Approval Process: Users Requiring Approval ●Approval Process: Approver Assignment ●Bulk Edit Access Control ●Video Filter Uploader In addition to reduced load times, search intuitiveness and indexing has been improved so that search begins when you type one or more letters. Results should start with the matching characters in any word in any of the fields typed. The results should not include items that do not match that criteria. Results should be sorted alphabetically by display name, group name, team name and be intermixed. |
