Replace Your Video

Just like Ben says in the video, we all make mistakes. If you've embedded a video, and now you need to update it in a hurry, the Replace Video tool is a quick and easy way to get it done. As a bonus, you won't lose stats already created for the original video.

NOTE: you can replace any video in your account using this feature, but in order for the change to appear automatically on your website, you'll need to use iframe embeds.

Step 1: Find the Video in Your Account

Open up the media page in your account for the video that needs replacing.

Find the “Replace Video” option under the green Media Actions drop-down menu



Step 2: Select and Upload the Replacement Video


In the pop-up window, selecting “Upload Replacement” will bring up a dialogue box so that you can locate the video you want to replace the current video with.

Once you select the new video, it will start uploading, giving you a progress bar as to how far along it is.



Step 3: For Office Use Only



Once the new video is finished uploading, Wistia will encode it and perform the backend work to replace the old video with the new one, immediately, across the internet.

When the encoding/replacing process is done, the new video will appear in your account. No need to update embed codes, URLs, or sharing. All done!


Geez, Adam looks good, doesn't he?
