Release Note Q3 2022

We introduced a Comments section accessible on each video page by clicking on the    icon. This feature gives viewers the possibility to engage with the content they are watching, react and share opinions with other users.

Comments can only be posted by users with a validated Dailymotion account and a username. To ensure that the platform remains a positive environment, all comments are moderated.

The feature is only available in France on the iOS and Android apps. We are planning on expanding it to other countries in the coming months.

Learn more about:
- How to allow / block comments on your content
- How to create and manage the comments you post on the platform

Our new feature Collections gives you the opportunity to reflect on current topics by displaying on your home feed a curated selection of videos tackling the same topic seen from different angles.

Each topic is raising a question to which you can react by selecting an answer from the poll. You'll see which answers are popular among the Dailymotion community!

The feature is only available in France on the iOS and Android apps. We are planning on expanding it to other countries in the coming months.

We have enriched the upload experience for Dailymotion user accounts with two news changes:

• The upload interface on desktop has been redesigned to match Dailymotion standards and the solution already offered to Partners.
• The upload feature is now available on our Android and iOS mobile apps to enable an easy content upload everywhere from any device.

Note that the content uploaded by users is private and cannot be found in Dailymotion search results. However, it is possible to share the content link to anyone. Users who received the link have the possibility to post comments (see dedicated Comments section above for more details).

Learn more about how to upload and manage content from your Library.

We have introduced new Player parameters this quarter:

• "Watch on Dailymotion" on start screen
• Dailymotion logo
• Video titles in carousel thumbnails

They can be adjusted via the Player configuration in your Partner Space.

Learn more about the Player configuration and the different parameters.

In order to offer a smoother watching experience, we have enriched the loading time by adding visual feedbacks to the UI, offering you more transparency on your content's readiness when it takes longer than usual to play.

As announced at the beginning of 2022, we are progressively redesigning the Partner Space for an optimized experience on both mobile and desktop.

This quarter, we released the new design of two main sections:

• Video edit page
• Player configuration

Other sections of the Partner Space are currently work in progress and will be released in the coming months.

Please note that changes will only be cosmetic: features and actions won’t be impacted.

The Upload content guide has been updated so that users can easily publish content on behalf of an Organization channel.

In our Release Note Q2 2022, we introduced new CSS codes to customize your Picture-in-Picture (PiP) positioning and ensure a low CLS score for your pages.

Our CSS codes have been enriched this quarter so that so that PiP can be dynamically repositioned, making it easier to adjust.

If you are using our default PiP integration, the update is automatic.
If you customized your PiP positioning, please follow the guide so you can update your integration.

Demos and code samples are also available in our CodePen library.

Since some of our Partners are using Chartbeat's solution to track their editorial performances, we created a guide to show you how to send your Dailymotion video analytics to your Chartbeat dashboards so that you can have a global view content performances.

The video tracker can easily be added in an existing Chartbeat integration. Find all the details in our Chartbeat video integration guide.

We have redesigned the loop parameter on embedded content to enable a more precise loop: depending on the queue being enabled or disabled in your Player configuration, the loop parameter will enable a single video, a list of recommendations or a whole playlist to play again.

You can find more details on how to use the loop param in the Dev Portal.
