What Are Video Notes?
Video Notes allow your members to take personal text-based notes while watching videos. These notes are private and only visible to the member who created them.
This feature is great for:
Tracking workout progress 🏋️
Reflecting after a meditation 🧘
Taking study notes while learning 📚
By enabling Video Notes, you can help your members feel more engaged and committed to your content.

How Video Notes Work
Members can add, edit, and delete their own notes.
Members can add timestamps to notes, making it easier to reference specific moments in a video.
All notes are text-only (no images or videos).
Notes are private—only the member can see them. Admins cannot access them.
Each note has a 3000-character limit, but members can add multiple notes if needed.
Members can find their notes:
On the web: In their profile.
On mobile: In account settings.
💡 For discussions, use video comments or the community feature instead.
How to Enable Video Notes
Video Notes are disabled by default, so you can decide whether to enable them for your members.
✅ Uscreen recommends enabling Video Notes, especially if you offer fitness, mindfulness, or educational content.
To Enable Video Notes:
Go to Admin > Website > Catalog tab > Features
Toggle Show Video Notes to enable the feature.
Good to know:
Disabling Video Notes does not delete members’ notes. If you re-enable the feature later, all previous notes will still be there.
