Replace a video without changing its embeds

Replacing a video swaps its file for a new one while everything else stays the same: the video’s link, every embed code, its title, description, captions, chapters, interactions and analytics.

Replace the file

1. Open the video in your library.
2. Scroll to Replace video and choose the new file (or drop it on the button).
3. The upload starts straight away. Large files upload in parts and resume if your connection drops.

While the new file processes, the page says Processing the new version and the current version keeps playing everywhere. When the new version is ready the page updates by itself and says The new version is live on every embed.

What viewers see

• People who start watching after the new version is live get the new file.
• Anyone already watching the old version can finish it: the old version stays available for a few hours.
• Each upload becomes a new version (v2, v3 and so on). Two replacements never share a version, and an older one can never overwrite a newer one.

If processing fails

If the new file can’t be processed, the page tells you and the current version keeps playing. Try uploading it again, or export it as MP4 (H.264) and upload that.

Courses and AI dubs

• If the video has Completion must be on the latest version turned on, learners who completed an older version are asked to rewatch it. See Require the latest version for completion.
• AI dubs are made for one version of the file. After a replace they show as Older version; order them again for the new file (automatic dubbing does this for you).
