August 2026 Release Notes

New Release Format

Going forward, we will release updates weekly. This frequent, predictable pattern allows us to quickly address any unexpected issues and ensure transparency on what we're working on.

The first, second, and third weeks of the month will be dedicated to resolving issues, performance improvements, and other minor adjustments. The final week of the month is reserved for bigger items, like new features or significant changes to existing features.

Given the frequency of these updates, we will now be using a single thread per month to communicate all releases. For example, this thread will be updated weekly until the end of August with all of our normal release notes. Next month, a new thread will be created, and those release notes will live inside of that thread.

If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding this new format, please make a post in our General Q&A forums.

August 6th, 2026

This update will be applied after business hours on Thursday, August 6th.

  • We've released new Moodle plugins for student submission, course embed, tiny, and block.
  • When using the batch change owner feature, you'll now see your selected video's thumbnail, title, and a "X" that will allow you to remove it from the list.

    This update will be applied after business hours on Thursday, August 13th.

    The following issues have been resolved:

    • The "Summarize" option now appears consistently in the video action menu, whether you access a video via search results or from the folder view.
    • Panopto for Windows no longer gets stuck in a reauthentication loop under specific circumstances.
    • Pressing the Space key in the Accessibility Requests table no longer triggers page scrolling.
    • The Add and Close buttons in the Department menu are now fully accessible via keyboard navigation and screen readers.
    • Removing your own access to a folder by pressing the Tab key no longer causes the UI to freeze. Instead, you will be correctly warned that you cannot remove your own access to the folder.

    The following minor features have been added:

    In the Change Owners window, the "Review selected videos" modal now displays a live "X videos selected" count in the title, which updates automatically as videos are removed from the list, giving you an accurate count of your current selection.

    When editing a video's thumbnail for a session with reference copies, a new "Update reference copies" toggle appears above the Save/Delete/Cancel links, which is enabled by default. If left on, the thumbnail updates across all reference copies of that video. Editing a thumbnail on a reference copy itself doesn't affect the original video.
