What’s New in SmartVideo
We ship improvements every month—player, CDN, plugin, and dashboard. This is the running record of what’s changed and why it matters.
New Video Player (Beta)
We’re rolling out a rebuilt SmartVideo video player, now in beta. It keeps what matters—ad-free, white-label, and no suggested videos pulling viewers away—on a modernized foundation. The beta is opt-in while we refine it; your current player stays the default until the new one graduates to stable.
WordPress Plugin 2.2.0
A major plugin update adding native modules for Divi 5 and Bricks with live preview in each builder’s visual editor. Beaver Builder receives detection and conditional loading support. Conditional loading was rebuilt so the player script only loads on pages that actually have video — with per-builder content scanning for Elementor, Divi, Bricks, and Beaver Builder.
- Rebuilt admin settings with React — cleaner UI, reset buttons, dashboard video stats widget
- Gutenberg block: unified video URL field, legacy block auto-migration, per-page disable toggle
- JSON-LD VideoObject schema auto-generated on pages with SmartVideo (SEO)
- Responsive auto-converted Vimeo iframes scale properly at all widths
- XSS fixes across all builder render paths
- Fixed upload accelerator corrupting temp file paths during chunked uploads
New Help Center & In-App Support Beacon
Our support portal moved to support.swarmify.com with 90+ searchable help articles and an AI-powered search beacon embedded in the dashboard, blog, and marketing site. Search the help center or chat with our team.
Video Delete
You can now delete videos directly from your library. Select a video and remove it — no more emailing support to clean up old content.
Playback Reliability Fix & CDN Security Upgrade
Fixed a delivery issue that was causing occasional playback interruptions on some CDN servers. Also upgraded TLS certificates fleet-wide to ECC-only for stronger encryption and better security.
Improved Failed Payment Recovery
If a payment fails, we now retry 8 times over 21 days (previously 3 retries over 7 days) so a temporary card issue is less likely to interrupt your service.
Smarter Cancel Flow
If you start a cancellation, we now show a usage-based plan suggestion before you reach the final step — so you can right-size your plan instead of leaving entirely.
Annual Pricing Restructured
We replaced the previous 50%-off introductory discount with a permanent “two months free” annual discount (~16% savings per year), so you know what you’re paying at renewal. Predictable pricing every year, no surprises.
