Release Note Q2 2022

As announced in our Q1 Release note, we continue to improve the Partner HQ navigation in 2022. This quarter, we've reorganized your sections with a new header and a new menu.

The mobile navigation has also been improved, allowing you to browse your channels and upload content from your mobile devices.

• The header is centralizing all the features related to your organization (switch on your different channels, add new channels and users to your organization, manage your API keys). You also have a new button available on your header, which allows you to quickly add a new media to the channel you're currently logged in.
  
  
• The left menu is centralizing all the features related to the channel and its assets (upload new content, channel management, create players and define their behavior).

This summer, we will continue to improve the Partner HQ with an improved navigation for desktop and mobile.

Your dashboards have been updated to let you easily filter multiple data directly from your interface.

While browsing your dashboard, you can now click on dimensions to dive in specific data. When dimensions are selected, your dashboard will refresh with the relevant data.

You can now access the playlist and players data in your dashboards as dimensions.

This will allow you to check the performances of the players and playlists based on the metrics you'll have selected at the top of your dashboard.

Learn more about our dashboards and the available metrics and dimensions.

We've started to release our new player for embedded content only, on every platform, worldwide.

With this new player, your audience will benefit from:

• An improved UI, with a minimal overlay and a central play button and visible video duration
• An optimized monetization, with better ads controls and click-though on first user interaction
• A better content discovery, with an easily accessible queue during the playback

This new player will then be released on Dailymotion.com later this year. Don't hesitate to share your feedback and your thoughts to our Support team, we would love to get your opinion on our new player.

 

With the new player, you can now access the queue directly during the playback.

To do so, you can simply click on the queue button located on the bottom left corner of the player interface.

While creating your account on Dailymotion, you will now have to fill your name, surname and define a username to use our service.

If you've already created an account on Dailymotion, you'll receive a notification on the app to update your account.

The name, surname and username will be mandatory to use some of our new community features coming later this year on the application.

Until now, playback speed was set on a video level. With this update, the playback speed is now set on a player level, allowing you to keep this settings activated on different content.

The playback speed is also exposed on the Player API, allowing you to programmatically use this parameter on your embedded players and apps.
