With PlusPlus you can link to your own video content, share highly technical tutorials from YouTube and make them all discoverable to your organization. You can assign videos to team members as a one-off or integrate them into learning paths with PlusPlus tracks.

Uploaded videos, which is the PlusPlus native format, and some URL link-based video, are automatically marked as started or completed based on a user’s engagement. If a viewer leaves a video before completion, the video can be automatically resumed, except, for example, link based video such as Google Drive-hosted videos - learn more about how to work with our legacy video options here.

Videos are just one way you can offer self-paced learning content with PlusPlus. We also offer articles and courses, as well as the ability to facilitate live, relational engagement with live events, office hours, and mentorship. You can also incorporate videos, articles, courses, and live events into a sequential learning playbook with PlusPlus tracks. Team members can also bookmark a video so they can return to it easily to watch later.

For a closer look at all the content types available in PlusPlus for both live engagement and self-paced content, see PlusPlus 101: Content you can create.

Here are the steps for getting started with videos on PlusPlus.

From the Content Menu, Click the + New button and scroll down to the create Video option

On the Creating Video page, click the Add Video button to browse on your local PC to locate the video file you want to upload - Select Upload Video File.

We recommend limiting the maximum video file size to 500MB or less.

These video types are supported:

*.ogm;*.wmv;*.mpg;*.webm;*.ogv;*.mov;*.asx;*.mpeg;*.mp4;*.m4v;*.avi;*.opus;*.flac;

*.webm;*.weba;*.wav;*.ogg;*.m4a;*.mp3;*.oga;*.mid;*.amr;*.aiff;*.wma;*.au;*.aac

Alternatively, it is possible to Add a Video URL (also known as embedded video), which is only recommended as an alternate legacy option - please see this for more details.

After attaching your video file, as required, add a cover image and a description

Note: For GenAI features to be available you must first publish (save) your video for AI to ingest and process video data.

Depending on the length of your video, it may take some time to fully upload and become available for viewing. Larger files (around 500 MB) can take 10 minutes or more to finish uploading. Don’t worry—this message will remain visible until your video has completed both the upload and AI capture processes. We appreciate your patience!

Once a video has been uploaded, simply click the Replace button to re-upload a new video file which will overwrite the previous.

Under Additional Information, once the video upload is complete, the Duration field will auto fill.

You can add categories and tags to make your video discoverable

For GenAI features in depth please see this information below

Enable the Inline item option to make the video visible only in Tracks to which the video been added to. Note inline items are only accessible from within the track they are set inline for, but can be seen by platform admins, organizers, and content creator/owners

Your default Channel is initially selected, or you can specify another channel, or multiple channels

Select a Curator who can edit video details and manage assignments for the video.
The person who created the video is automatically listed as the curator.

(A curator is responsible for organizing, updating, and managing a video’s content within PlusPlus. They can edit metadata, descriptions, tags, and assign the video to groups as appropriate.)

Add Time to complete if you want video assignees to complete it in a certain amount of time.

Enable the Time to Expire setting if you want the video assignment to expire after a set time.

Configure a Video percentage that needs to be watched to autocomplete.
Viewers (including those assigned to the video) must watch the percentage given to be considered complete.

Add links or suggest office hours as additional resources for the videos.

Attach surveys to the video to solicit feedback from those who take it.

Set Access Control for the video.

Configure whether Feedback is public (everyone can see the star ratings given for the video). This is a cascaded setting set at the System Settings level, but you can override the setting for a particular video.

Configure Notifications for video assignments and surveys.

These are also cascaded settings, but you can override these setting for notifications as needed.

Once you’ve published the video and the system has processed your upload, GenAI features become available: Transcript, Summary of the Transcript, Display Summary, and Flashcards

You can now automatically generate a summary for any video by uploading a transcript in the Transcript & Summary section. This feature streamlines content management and ensures that your video details stay up to date for viewers.

How it works:

This automation helps ensure your video content is accurate and accessible with minimal manual effort. If you need to update the summary, edit the transcript and save—your summary will refresh to match the new content

For information on AI Flashcard generation, see this article:

Flashcards - AI Generative

Note for videos which we don't have progress data on, the progress column shows "N/A" instead of "0%". There is now a new "Completed On" column which shows the date the item was completed - previously for a video with no interactions you can see it is marked complete but not were unable to see when it was marked complete.
