Report and remove items in the stock asset library

The essentials library is supplied by a third-party provider and is deemed appropriate for educational purposes. Although uncommon, content that is unsuitable for your organization or audience may occasionally be identified. In such instances, users may report these items to facilitate their removal from the stock media library. 
 

Right-click the item and select the Report and Remove option.

Right-click on the item you want to remove, and select the Report and Remove option.

The missing media warning when the clip is removed from the library

Submitting the report immediately restricts access to the reported item for all users in your organization. If the reported clip has been used by other users, it will also be removed from their projects and replaced with a message indicating that the media has been removed and needs to be replaced.

The report is also sent to the WeVideo Support team for review and further action, including the removal of the reported item for all WeVideo users.
