Team libraries

A team library is a shared space where teammates can watch each other's videos. Your videos stay in your own library. The team library shows them to its members.

Available on: Free, Starter and Pro, with different limits

Limits by plan

If you hold a paid seat on a Starter or Pro team, you get that team's limits. See Plans and limits.

Before you start

Library members must already be on your team. Invite them first from Team in the sidebar. See Invite people. If you have no team yet, the Team Libraries page shows Invite Teammates First with a Go to Team button.

Libraries you create belong to your own team. If you work on someone else's team, ask that team's owner to create the library and add you.

Create a library

1. In the sidebar, click Team Library. The Team Libraries page opens.
2. Click Create Library.
3. In Create Team Library, enter a Name. Optionally add a Description, pick a Color, and choose Members from your team.
4. Click Create Library.

You become the owner of every library you create.

Library roles

Each library member has one of three roles. They are separate from team roles.

Add videos to a library

You can only add videos you created. There are two ways.

From the team library

1. In the sidebar, click Team Library and open the library.
2. Click Add Video. The Add Video to Library dialog lists your videos.
3. Click a video to add it. Zidi shows "Video shared to library".

From the Share dialog

1. In My Library, hover over a video card and click the share icon.
2. Open the Share with team tab.
3. Search for the library if needed, then click it.

In the Share dialog, a video can be in one library at a time. If it is already in one, Zidi says "This video is already shared to a library. Unshare it first to move it to a different one."

A shared video card in My Library shows a "Shared to" badge with the library name. See Share a video for the other share options.

Remove a video from a library

1. Open the library and find the video.
2. Open the video card menu and click Remove from Library, then confirm.

Team members no longer see the video in that library. The original video stays in its owner's own library. The video's owner, library Admins and the library owner can remove videos. An Editor can remove only the videos they added themselves.

Library settings and members

1. Open the library and click the settings button.
2. In Library Settings, change the name, description or colour, then click Save Changes.
3. Under Members, change a member's role to Viewer, Editor or Admin, or click Remove.
4. To add someone, pick them under Add from team roster. Only people already on your team appear there.

Only the library owner and library Admins can change these settings.

Add new teammates automatically

Turn on Auto-add new team members in Library Settings and save. Everyone who joins your team after that, or whose team role changes, is added to this library as a Viewer. This suits libraries every teammate should see, such as onboarding videos. Leave it off for private libraries.

Delete a library

Only the library owner can delete a library.

1. Open the library, click the settings button, and click Delete Library.
2. Confirm with Delete.

You can also delete it from the Team Libraries page. There you type the library name to confirm.

When someone leaves the team

A member who leaves your team, or whom you remove, loses access to your team libraries. Videos they shared stay in the libraries unless you tick Remove their videos from shared team libraries when you remove them. See Remove a member.
