Frequently asked questions

How do I edit, duplicate, or see video insights from my search results?

In your library, the menu (3 dots) next to a video allows you to perform actions like Edit, Duplicate, and open the video's Insights. 

In Vidyard Business accounts, when your search location is set to Anywhere the menu next to each video will not be available. Change your search location to Current Folder to access the menu from your search results.
