Introducing Wistia Labs

Update: November 28, 2018. Wistia Labs has now been deprecated, and most of the features detailed in post are available within the core Wistia application.

Toss on your lab coat and follow us for a tour of Wistia Labs: a new set of experimental video tools suited for the maddest of web video scientists. (Dim the Lights is featured above!)

It can be challenging to experiment with new functionality within a product when your ultimate goal is to keep things clean and simple. When you’ve got a quirky, out-there idea, or a new feature that’s crazy cool but only a few people will use, how do you avoid cluttering the product? How about features that are super useful but that you might not be able to guarantee compatibility with for every browser or platform?

We already launched the Twitter Follow Lab back in February, and now we’re happy to announce a whole bunch of new Labs

• Chapters
• Dim the Lights
• Google Analytics
• Password-Protected Videos
• Resumable Videos
• Turnstile Golden Ticket

The real beauty is that this is a great framework for us to be introducing new, experimental tools for you to try out all the time!
