Your dashboard is the home base for everything you upload. Here's a quick walk through so you know what's what.

The sidebar

Down the left side you'll find:

  • Dashboard: your video library.
  • Analytics: performance numbers and charts (paid plans only).
  • Branding: your global player colour.
  • Pricing: plan comparison.
  • Billing: your active plan and invoices.
  • Account Settings: username and email.
  • Contact: get in touch with us.

The top of the dashboard

At the top you'll see your storage meter showing how much of your plan you've used, plus the count of how many videos you have uploaded.

If you're on the free plan, a banner near the top will gently nudge you toward the Standard plan when you start running low. You can dismiss it with the close icon if you'd rather not see it for now.

If you're on Standard or Premium and some of your videos don't have adaptive quality versions yet, a prompt here offers to create them, with a Not now button if you'd rather wait. See Adaptive quality playback for your videos.

Searching, refreshing and uploading

To the right of the page header you'll find:

  • A Search videos box that filters your library as you type.
  • A Refresh button if you've just uploaded from another tab.
  • The big Upload button. Click it to open the upload dialog.

The library refreshes automatically after every upload and after deleting a video. The Refresh button is there for the rare cases where you've made changes in another tab.

Each video card

Every video shows its thumbnail, title, file size, duration and how long ago it was uploaded. A small spinning icon next to the file size means adaptive quality versions are being created for that video, and a sparkle means they're ready. Hover a card and you'll see three quick action icons underneath: edit (pencil), embed (code) and delete (trash). The thumbnail itself opens the full video page.
