A quick glimpse at Studio plans for the next quarter

[AkosFarago]

First and foremost, it is wonderful to see how many of you have filled out our survey from the previous blog post that focused on improving Studio’s sharing capabilities. We are talking about (drumming sounds)... 94 people! It truly helped us understand the feature inside out. We are closing the survey now, but do not worry if you haven’t filled it out: we will soon come back with another one focusing on another much anticipated feature idea!

Now it is no surprise that we are putting some effort into sharing improvements this quarter. Creating groups and re-using them can be tricky to handle for all the different purposes we received in the survey, so we are now getting down to the nitty gritty of the feature.

But we do not stop here. With Studio, one of our primary goals is to accommodate teachers and admins with as many platforms to upload video from as possible. There are a number of conferencing tools used by institutions and storing recordings with them in Studio is a demand that we are well aware of. However, there are always challenges with integrating 3rd party tools that we need to overcome first for each tool one by one, hence whatever comes next quarter depends on those technical questions as well.

Another platform we work with is Vimeo - we know some institutions heavily use it, so that’s another area we are researching now. 

And what else? Of course, we are enjoying the wonderful weather, but we know that once it passes away, the last quarter will be nearly upon us, so we must start to outline our plans for the end of the year. And who knows? Part of our plans may be some video editing capabilities in Studio! One thing is certain, we want to put it under the microscope, so in the next blog post we’d like to gather some feedback with a survey on it.

So stay tuned and happy summer for all of you living in the northern hemisphere!
