Say Hello to Approval Workflows with OpenReel

Now, you can require that all videos are approved by team administrators before the video is published. 

Once a team Admin toggles on this setting, all team members will see the “Submit for Approval” button within the video creation area of the platform; this replaces the “Complete and build video” button.

When a team member is finished with a video, they “Submit for Approval;” all Admins on the account are then emailed that a video is awaiting approval. Admins can approve or leave detailed comments, with optional timestamps, and reject the video. If the video is rejected, the creator will be brought back into the video creation area of the platform where they can view the comments and make requested changes before resubmitting the video.

Admins can also view all pending videos in a “Pending Approval” hub in their Library view.

OpenReel 2.22 Product Update

OpenReel 2.22 Update Product Release Notes

OpenReel 2.22 delivers three collaboration features, along with improvements to the video creation and customization experience.

Work together, while making videos alone

By supporting your team with OpenReel, you ensure each person has the tools to easily make professional video and can do it within a framework that fits your organization’s brand needs.

OpenReel’s goal is to make it just as easy and natural to make a video as it is to write an email, which means more people will be making videos at your organization. Approval workflows don’t prevent your organization from scaling video; instead, they’re a way to collaborate on video projects in a more efficient and easier manner. That’s a big win for everyone.

 

Why set up approval workflows?

  • Your organization already has a content approval workflow. You want to automate that workflow and bring it within a video creation platform, which will make your team more efficient and productive.
  • Your team is new to video, and you want to ensure everyone has the right feedback to improve.
  • You have multiple stakeholders on a project, and you want their input before a video can be shared.
  • Your organization requires more oversight due to brand management or other restrictions.
