Replacing a video

Description

To update a video, simply replace the source file of the uploaded video. The original embed code and video ID for the new video will remain the same.

When you replace a video with a new file, all previous metadata, chapters, and overlays are retained. Keep in mind that you might need to make adjustments to these elements for the new video.

Note

If the original video was published, the new video will be available immediately after the replacement process is complete.

Restrictions for audio files

Note that audio files cannot be replaced with this feature.

Steps

Click the Replace button.

Select the new video you want to use, and confirm the replacement in the dialog box.

Click Replace to initiate the replacement process, which may take a few minutes.

You can restore the previous version of the video by clicking on the arrow on the top right-hand side of the video item.
