Setup and playback control · Autessa Video Creator
Videos in your workspace
Autessa Video Creator stores your recordings and their details (title, description, owner, who it is shared with, edit instructions, status and the video file) in a table in your own Autessa workspace. Your videos live alongside your other business data, under Autessa’s access controls.
The problem
Quick videos are still company records
Walkthroughs, bug reports and process videos carry real company knowledge. Keeping them in your own workspace, rather than a separate video service, means one place for access, retention and audit.
What you get
- Each video is one row in a Video recordings table in your workspace, with the file stored with it.
- The public viewer has no access to that table; it reads only published videos through one read-only lookup.
- Playback links are short-lived and fetched only when someone opens a video.
- Because the data is in Autessa, your team can build reports, automations or other apps on top of it.
