November 12, 2025

New: [Oak Theme] New settings added to show or hide video durations on listing pages (home, search, categories, etc.) and content landing pages.

Improved: The exportable Videos Overview report now includes the security token for each video.

New: We added support for 3 new embed code parameters to allow for setting a maximum resolution, minimum resolution, and initial resolution for video playback. maxQuality sets the ceiling for automatic bitrate control, minQuality sets the floor, and initialQuality sets the starting point and disables adaptive bitrate control. These new parameters give you more ways to control the viewing experience, and also provide additional tools for managing bandwidth usage. Learn more about custom embed code parameters.

Improved: Open Graph tags are now available for password protected video landing pages and, login protected video landing pages when “List login protected videos when logged out” is enabled for your SproutVideo-hosted site. Open Graph tags make it possible for social media platforms to show a “preview” of your link that includes the video title, description, and poster frame when your content landing page links are shared.

New: You can now choose to display, and sort by, the last uploaded date (replaced date) for your videos on SproutVideo-hosted video sites. This enhancement is useful if you are regularly replacing your videos with updated versions and the recency of your content is important to your viewers.
Improved: All themes now have the option to show/hide video content dates on listing pages and landing pages as separate preferences. Landing pages also have the added option to show both the original upload date and last uploaded (replaced) date when applicable.

New: A new account-wide option has been added to Media Settings to disable preloading for on-demand videos. This may be helpful for accounts looking to reduce bandwidth usage. Preloading is enabled by default to ensure instant playback when viewers press play, and is especially helpful for viewers on slower connections.

New: All themes now allow for customizing the fonts used throughout your site. This was previously only available on the Spruce theme, now all themes have access to these settings.
