Fix for Special Characters on Lock Screens
Special characters in episode
titles, such as apostrophes,
ampersands, and quotation
marks, were previously displaying
as code (e.g., &,
")
when content played from
a mobile lock screen. We’ve
resolved the issue, and those
characters now display correctly,
keeping titles clean and
easy to read even when the
screen is locked.

Faster Player Load Times
This month, we wrapped up
a focused set of improvements
to reduce player load time.
You may have already noticed
things feel quicker and more
responsive. While this round
is complete, performance
is never off our radar. We’ll
continue to prioritize speed
and reliability to ensure
the experience stays fast,
smooth, and frustration-free.

ICYMI: Mobile Video Playback in Background
We’ve improved mobile video
playback so it continues
reliably when the app is
in the background or the
device screen is locked.
It’s now easier than ever
for your audience to stay
engaged with video content
on the go without interruptions
or tapping required.

Smarter Internal Analytics = Better Support for You
We’ve been working on internal
instrumentation to allow
our team to share clearer
insights during health checks
and when you have specific
questions, giving you more
relevant, timely guidance.
These enhancements also make
it easier for our internal
team to access and analyze
platform-wide trends, helping
us prioritize product improvements
that matter the most to you
and your audience.

Coming Soon: Authenticated Show Embeds
With show embeds coming soon,
you will be able to share
a full series of episodes
in a single embedded application.
What's more, your team won't
have to worry about publishing
to these embeds, the list
of available content will
automatically update when
new episodes are added to
shows. Since users will sign
in to stream content through
these embeds, all of the
analytics will accrue to
your streaming program. We’ll
talk about this and more
in upcoming health checks,
but you can feel free to
email product@ustudio.com
with any questions or ideas
about how you might like
to use our embedded application.

Security Updates
This past month, we’ve continued
routine but essential security
updates across our platform
infrastructure. These behind-the-scenes
changes ensure that our systems
stay aligned with evolving
enterprise security standards,
helping to keep your content
and user data safe without
disrupting your experience.

Make Your Content Easier to Find
You’ve put in the work to
create valuable content,
but it also needs to be easy
to find when your audience
needs it.
Our latest blog
shares
practical tips for
boosting visibility and engagement
through smart promotion and
distribution, like:
• Embeds place content directly in tools like your intranet, LMS, or CRM, so employees can watch in context.
• Smart Links and QR Codes make sharing simple and trackable and are great for emails, onboarding, or digital signage.
• Enterprise Search surfaces episodes in Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, right alongside other corporate materials.
For help putting these strategies into action, contact success@ustudio.com.
