Greetings 3Speak Community Members,
Here's
What's New in Release 1.3.1?
Portrait Videos
This was the feedback from many users - Not playing portrait video properly in the app was a poor experience.
With this feature, the Now app will detect the size of the video first & based on that, set the video player size & scale-ratio accordingly
Here is what a portrait video detail page would look like.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the height for the mini-player is more for portrait video. As a user, you can always switch to full screen.
3Shorts > Portrait Shorts
Thanks to Now, everytime you play a 3Shorts, portrait shorts will be detected & 3Shorts player will scale video accordingly

Automatic Publishing
In our recent post, we announced that starting from June 15th, 2023, the videos you upload will be published automatically.
Due to this few users like Starting from July 1st. 2023, all the videos you upload will be published as soon as processing is complete.
So, I request users to be careful when uploading the videos.
Only upload videos that you want to publish.
I'm also thinking of a feature in the mobile app that would ask the user at the time of upload - Auto-publish or Manual-publish.
Unwanted links
Links added to the bottom of the post are unwanted links.
Those links look good on
But it fails to render properly on peakd.com & hive.blog
I've decided to remove those links from the post template.
I am working closely with A couple of API changes that were needed & suggested by I'm implemented all of those suggestions on 3Speak-Creator-Studio & unblocked them.
