Parents are asking for short video clips instead of just photos. Are you considering implementing it soon?

Request feature: please add a way to be able to upload short video clips, or at least embed links into the children’s portfolio. Thank you!

Hello, we want tu suggest a videos and a better app because families can not see everyday nothing , only in the computer

ability to upload videos

There needs to be a way to send videos to parents individually.

videos for parents to see

We would really love the feature to upload videos from both school environment and for parents too. They can really capture so many elements of a child's development. thank you

Please allow video to be uploaded. It's far too important nowadays and the families would like to see this kind of content from their children's classrooms.

It would be great if there was a feature that parents could comment back on a posted activity that their child was tagged in.

Also, videos. We need to be able to upload videos.

Sharing videos with families

Our schools rely heavily on the usage of Transparent Classroom for our parents, especially now that most schools are not allowing parents to enter the schools. LePort Montessori is no exception to parents being unable to observe their children within the Montessori environment.

It would be so helpful for the teachers to be able to upload short videos of their child in a social setting, as that is what has been missing for many of our children during this extremely isolating period of time.

Would you consider adding this as a feature to Transparent Classroom? A snapshot into the classroom is amazing, but how wonderful to see your child engaging with another or in action!

Thank you for considering this!

Some our guides have been sharing short videos via email, and parents LOVE it! It would be fantastic to include this in TC.

Hi, I just wanted to let you all know a work-around for adding videos to Transparent Classroom. Although we don't support videos yet, but if you have a YouTube channel, this is how to embed a video in TC.

The first case is when you want to share a video of a child with the parents:

First, go to the child’s page and click on “Conference Reports”, then “Add Document”. Name the document “Child’s Videos”. Then in the body of the document, use the YouTube button to get the formatting, and copy in the link to their video. If you’re concerned about privacy, there is a setting for videos in YouTube called “unlisted” – meaning, only people who have the link can view the video.

The second case is when you wants to add a video to a lesson description. The formatting is exactly the same, but the current lesson editor doesn’t have the YouTube button so just type in "youtube. (link)". The space after the period and before the link is very important.

Please feel free to email us if you have any questions about this.

I would love to be able to share some of the videos we capture of the students in action!

Hi Jeremy. We are very happy with TC. Please reconsider offering this video feature. Perhaps it can be a limited 7 second snapchatish video.
