The new Videas platform: everything that changes for you

Were you using the previous Videas platform? Your videos, folders, channels and share links are all still there — and around them, a lot more. This page gathers what is new, tool by tool, with where to find each feature.

An app organised into tools

The left-hand menu brings together tools, each dedicated to one job:

• Mediasbox — all your files: videos, audio, images, documents. This is where you upload them, organise them, share them and embed them on your site.
• Scribe — your subtitles and transcripts: generation, translation, review, styling.
• Channels — your video sites: pages, catalogue, viewers, sales and emails.
• Analytics — statistics for all your videos, wherever they are watched.
• Settings — your organisation: members, roles, players, billing, API keys.

In Mediasbox, your files are organised into workspaces — one per team, client or project — each with its own members and its own player and sharing settings.

Billing: credits, and selling at 15% all-in

There is no plan to pick any more. Free, Standard, Plus, Enterprise: the four plans give way to a credit wallet, and everything is open to everyone — selling, the API, your own domain, with no cap on hours or accounts.

Each service is debited as you use it:

Service	Price
Video storage	€0.20 per hour of video per month
Delivery	€0.02 per GB — the first 1 TB free every month
Channel	€10 per month
Custom domain	€10 per month
Automatic subtitles	€0.10 per minute per language

€5 in credits is given every month, and your balance is your ceiling: no surprise bill, ever. You follow your spending day by day and service by service in Settings → Billing, with automatic top-up if you would rather not think about it. → Billing and credits

For sales, a single commission: 15% of the price excluding VAT, Stripe payment fees included. Nothing is added on top, and there is no setup fee. The money goes straight to your own Stripe account. → Commission and payouts

15% instead of 5% does not make it three times as expensive. The previous 5% did not include Stripe’s fees, which were added to every payment (from 1.5% + €0.25 for a European card). And selling required the Plus plan, at €50/month at the very least.

Take a creator with 30 hours of video, her channel and her domain, who sells 30 videos at €10 in the month, that is €300 in sales:

	Before	Now
Plus plan	€50	no plan
Channel, domain and 30 h of video	included in the plan	€26
Videas commission	€15 (5%)	€45 (15%)
Stripe fees on 30 payments	€12	included
Total for the month	€77	€71

And the €5 in credits given every month is not deducted yet: her month comes to €66.

Mediasbox: your files

• Go back to an earlier version of a video: after you replace a file, every version stays listed in the Files tab, and you restore the one you want. Links, embeds and statistics stay as they are. → Manage versions
• Several audio tracks on the same video: another language, audio description, an enhanced voice track for the hard of hearing. Viewers pick their track in the player.
• The change history of every media item, in the History tab: who changed what, and when — including changes made through the API.
• Saved searches: a combination of filters (type, tags, workspace, has subtitles…) is kept and reopened in one click. → Advanced search
• A shared tag vocabulary for the whole organisation, which you can lock to avoid duplicates.
• Before deleting, you see what will go offline: the channels and embeds affected are listed before anything goes to the trash. → Bulk actions
• Group a selection into a new folder, or copy the details of another media item (description, tags…) instead of typing them again.
• The storage cost of each file, shown next to it: you know what a clean-up saves you.
• Documents and audio files readable online: search inside PDFs with an outline and thumbnails, a waveform for audio. → Upload audio and documents
• Workspaces you can pin, follow to get their notifications, and colour to spot them. → Create a workspace

The player and your embeds

• A choice of audio track and an accessibility track in the player, on top of subtitles.
• The transcript beside the video, which viewers can follow or browse.
• Resume playback where the viewer left off, and an eco mode for weak connections.
• End-of-video recommendations: up to eight items suggested to keep watching.
• More flexible call-to-action buttons: they can appear at a given moment, at a percentage of the video, at the start, at the end or on pause. Interactivity tab of the media item.
• Player presets per organisation and per workspace, which you can lock to keep a shared look. → Customise the player
• Token-protected embeds, which you create and revoke at will. → Secure an embed
• An embed script that handles sizing and the pop-up window, and lets your site drive the player (play, pause, position). → Advanced embedding

Your existing embeds keep working: the previous platform’s addresses lead to the new player.

Your shares

• A maximum number of views per link, on top of the password and the expiry date. → Create a private link
• Share a whole folder, and add or remove files from a link you have already sent. → Share several files
• Hide the media details (description, dates) on the share page.
• Default settings per workspace: how long links stay valid, the logo shown on share pages.

Channels: your video sites

The site itself

• A full page editor: six starting templates, more than twenty block types (banner, catalogue, FAQ, testimonials, pricing, team, search, “continue watching”…), as many pages as you like, drafts and publishing. → The page editor
• Your own domain, connected by you in Settings → Domain: you add the DNS record shown, and the channel checks it. → Custom domain
• Menus, footer, card and navigation styles, and to go further, your own CSS, JavaScript and header tags. → Customise the channel
• Pages reserved for the subscribers of a plan.
• Address redirects: when you rename an item, the old link still leads to the right place.
• Your legal notice and terms of sale generated from your organisation’s details, then published on the channel.
• A sitemap and robots file produced automatically, so Google finds your content. → SEO settings

Your viewers

• A personal space for every viewer: pick up where they left off, their favourites, their history, their access requests.
• Two-step verification for viewer accounts, which you switch on yourself. → Set up sign-up
• Preview links to show a channel that is still private to a client or a colleague, without creating an account for them.
• Reply to comments as the channel, and moderate them. → Comments
• An inbox for the messages sent through the contact form.
• Uploads from your viewers: a form on the channel, and the videos received land in the workspace of your choice.
