Product Spotlight: See What’s New in Wistia [July 2023]

Well, well, well, look what we have here: another summer product update from all of us at Wistia! We’ve rounded up the latest and greatest releases and we can’t wait to show them off. You know the drill: Just dive right in.

Teleprompter built into Wistia’s recording feature

If you ever stumble over words and lose your train of thought while on camera, you’re not alone. Well, we’ve got good news: Wistia’s new teleprompter makes it super easy to stay on track. 🚂 (Choo, choo! Too much?)

Our teleprompter integrates seamlessly with our recording feature, giving you the ultimate tool to deliver your message in the best way possible. Say goodbye to awkward pauses and endless retakes, and say hello to a more confident you!

Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of how it works. Uploading your script is a breeze. You can simply upload a text file, copy and paste it, or even type it in manually.

To put the icing on the reading-your-script cake, we’ve made our teleprompter fully customizable. Adjust the font size to your liking and tweak how the teleprompter shows up on your screen. Whether you want to let it scroll automatically or take control and scroll manually, the power is in your hands.

Wistia Fetch

Let’s move on from the exciting world of video recording to another exciting world: artificial intelligence. We just launched Wistia Fetch, your video marketing encyclopedia that brings all of our knowledge — more than 15 years of Wistia experience and expertise — to you.

Need advice nailing a script? Want to optimize your video for maximum SEO impact? Just ask Wistia Fetch, and it will deliver the answers you need. It’s like having a virtual video producer on demand. If you’ve got any burning questions related to video marketing, feel free to head over to Wistia Fetch and ask away.

Media page updates and mobile search

Oh, and before you go, there are a couple more important things. Life is busy! That means you might need to access your videos on the go, which is why we’ve made mobile search a breeze. Find and take action on your videos, no matter where you are. Whether you’re on a train, plane, or automobile, Wistia has your back. (Yes, we’re back to the train theme. Full circle.)

But search isn’t the only thing going mobile — we’ve also revamped our Media Page to be responsive across all devices. So whether you’re on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you’ll have an exceptional viewing experience. We also pulled out some key information for you with more updates to come. Now you’ll see new tabs for transcripts, comments, and info, putting all the details you crave right at your fingertips.

That’s a wrap for July updates!

Thanks for boarding the Wistia product updates train. We can’t wait to assist you on your journey to your next video destination, whether that’s by answering your questions or helping you record the best take.

And a quick reminder: If you don’t see these new features in your account, you’re likely on a Legacy plan. We want to make sure you get access to everything Wistia has to offer, so check out our updated plans or get in touch. Ta ta for now!
