New Feature Highlights – September 14th Release Notes

We’re thrilled to announce these feature highlights from the September 14th Release

A new Google Sitemap XML Template is now available

Due to popular demand we have released a new Google Sitemap feature allowing you to generate a document according to Google’s video sitemap document specification. The Google Sitemap template can be applied to a video RSS feed, and can be accessed within the console and via the API. This new feature allows your media an even greater scope when it comes to syndicating your content.

A new slideshow player widget is now available, allowing you to embed a video alongside a set of synchronized images.

Our new tool allows a brand new presentation style for on-screen demos or social communication. Last release we announced support for Powerpoint presentation slides within our image management console. With this new release you’re able to present full Powerpoint presentations, timed to match your video presentation, in an on-demand setting. It’s a powerful tool for employers to communicate new policies within their company’s infrastructure, and a terrific sales tool to show off your product. This feature is currently in beta. Please contact support if you are interested in evaluating the slideshow widget.

The JavaScript carousel now supports additional layout options.

New customization options within the JavaScript carousel allow more aesthetic choices when presenting video playlists. When the carousel is horizontal, the text can now be placed below the still frame image, and when the carousel is vertical, the text can now be placed to the right of the image.
