WeVideo’s real-time collaboration allows multiple contributors — whether students, instructors, or team members — to edit multimedia projects together in real time, regardless of location. Learn more about real-time collaboration below, including how it works and tips for success.

Before you start
- User accounts must be within the same WeVideo license to be invited as project collaborators.
How to use Real-Time Collaboration in WeVideo
Create a project
Go to the Projects page and click the Create project button.
Alternatively, if the project already exists, click the Edit button on the Projects dashboard.
Tip: If you’ll be collaborating on many projects, you can also invite collaborators at the folder level.
Invite collaborators
From the multimedia editor, click the Invite collaborators button next to the project title.
Enter the collaborator’s name, email, or group, and then click Invite. (Note: Once you start typing, suggestions will auto-populate.)
Repeat as needed. There is no limit to the number of real-time collaborators; however, smaller groups may find collaboration more fruitful.
Note: Collaborators have editing access but cannot delete projects or remove other collaborators.
Have collaborators jump in
Invited collaborators can find the shared project on their Projects page, where they can click the project to jump in and start editing.
Multiple collaborators can work on the same project simultaneously, with individual actions tracked in real time via their profile icon.
Optional: Use comments for easy collaboration
For easy discussion, click Comment to add a comment anywhere on the timeline, or click into an existing comment to reply.
More resources on multimedia collaboration
- To leverage real-time collaboration for group projects, assign a team project to students in WeVideo.
- Instructors can also duplicate and combine collaborative projects. Learn more in this resource on invitation collaboration.
Plan and permission requirements for real-time collaboration
- Real-time collaboration is available with the Instructor, Organization, Teams, or Enterprise plan.
- By default, Admin Plus users can collaborate only on projects within the same building; if desired, the license owner may adjust these permissions to allow cross-building collaboration.
