Can I assign GIFs and Podcasts in WeVideo Classroom?

WeVideo Support -

Yes, educators can now assign GIFs and Podcasts in WeVideo Classroom! 

 

 Previously, GIFs could not be made in the Classroom instance. This release opens up a whole new video type to users in this space. Similarly, Podcasts could be created in Classroom, but only as a Project. Now, this functionality is also in Assignments, widening the options for content in our education-focused space. 

 

Please note, Podcasts can only be created in-product versus from an MP4 upload ( stay tuned for more updates shortly!). 

 

How to Create an Assignment 

 

  1. Find the class you would like to assign the GIF or Podcast. Click create assignment

  1. Fill out the fields for the assignment. Please note, you can choose if the assignment is a Video, GIF or Podcast. Click Save as Draft to save your work and Publish when you want to release the assignment.
