Welcome to the Videospan Product Blog!
This marks the first entry in our Product Blog, and we’re excited to kick things off. We’ll be using this space to share updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and a bit of our enthusiasm about the work we're doing to make Videospan better every day. Think of it as your inside track to what’s new, what’s coming soon, and why we’re building things the way we are.
Our goal with this blog is to keep you in the loop—not just about the big releases, but also the small improvements, bug fixes, and experiments that make the platform smoother, faster, and more powerful. Whether you're a longtime user or just getting started, we want you to feel part of the journey as Videospan continues to evolve.
In this first post, we’re taking a look back at some of the updates we’ve rolled out recently:
New Caption Experience
Captions are a must for social media video—and we’ve made them even better. Our enhanced caption tool lets you customize caption animations, fine-tune placement, and style captions with custom background and font options. Create a new caption today to use directly or apply to a template!
Enhanced Post Organization
Keeping track of the status of your responses in collections just got easier with the addition of tags on posts. With tags, it's now easy to apply tags to posts (e.g. needs-review, posted-to-social, etc) and filter by tags. Filtering by tag makes it easy to stay organized at a glance.
Trim Silence From the Beginning and End of Responses
Is the “Millennial Pause” slowing down your videos? Or are users hesitating at the start and end of recordings? Videospan now lets you automatically trim silence from the beginning and end of your responses with a single click. Look for the new “Trim Silence” icon on your video responses!
Expanded Options for Collecting Data from Responders
We’ve added expanded options for collecting data when someone responds to a prompt. You can now capture Organization and Job Title, and configure whether a field is hidden, optional, or required—giving you more control over the information you gather. Edit the collection settings on any collection to customize the information you collect!
All of this, plus countless fixes and improvements designed to make your Videospan experience better every day. We believe our customers are the best champions of new features and enhanced experiences—so if you have an idea that could make Videospan work better for you, we’d love to hear it!

Until next time!
