The Big Picture: Major Themes
Courses, reimagined
We’ve invested heavily in turning courses into a flagship experience — better enrollment flows, branded certificates, drip-feed scheduling, and a refreshed UI throughout.
A mobile-first player
The mobile viewing experience has been rebuilt from the ground up: reworked controls, smoother scrubbing, fullscreen captions on iOS, and animation polish across the board.
Smarter with AI
Auto-generated chapter markers, expanded translations and transcriptions, and improved language handling powered by AWS.
Built for your bottom line
Accelerated uploads to reduce traffic costs, S3 consumption attribution, and clearer bandwidth reporting so you always know where your spend is going.
Your brand, front and center
Brand font selection, custom certificate logos, theme-level whitelists, RTL text support, and rounded-corner publishing options.
