We would really love video uploading capability to be an added as a feature! This would be so great for short videos from specialty classes like music or school events that parents can't participate in.

I would love if you can add an "add video" feature to show parents recordings of their child at work.

Hi Transparent Classroom,
Hope your week is off to a good start! Writing to suggest/request that video sharing be added to the app - right now we use a different app to share photos and videos with families. We're switching to Transparent Classroom for photo sharing this year, but know our families will really miss having videos from the classroom. Do you have any plans to add video sharing in the future?
Thank you! Emily

Add video capability please! We want to be able to share videos of children at work, primarily for lessons and general classroom communications.

Good Morning! We would desperately love to be able to upload video clips to childrens activity files. We frequently take videos of children working and have nowhere to store them within the child's records.

Be able to upload and share videos of children to parents (the same way as photos)

Two requests -
1. I'd love to be able to add videos a little more easily (i.e. without having to go through YouTube first) - it would be great to be able to share videos of the children working, as well as videos of read-alouds for children to watch at home.
2. It would be AMAZING if the app would allow for tagging photos in app, instead of only being able to upload and then having to go to a computer to tag the photos.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This platform has been absolutely incredible for me and for the families - we all love it so much!

It would be great to be able to upload videos of the children at work and at play! There are many videos that are so beautiful and I can’t share them with the families!!
Thank you!

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'm hoping to transition from Brightwheel to TC. On Brightwheel, we can upload videos and the parents absolutely LOVE this. I'm hoping to only use one platform, but the videos is a huge draw.

Would be quite useful I imagine!
Btw, the uploading photos feature is good and fast! Thank you so much!

I have several families who do not allow us to post their child on social media. This is easily managed with photographs, but videos are harder because so many faces can be in one frame. Having the ability to share on T/C would resolve this problem and allow me to share many important moments with families.

Right now we use Facebook for this, so I'd say a pretty good demand. Parents want to hear their kids sing, see them do work, swing, take steps, ...anything really.

It would be great to be able to upload short videos for parents to see.
