📌 This feature is only available to our Enterprise Plan Customers.

If you would like look at upgrading your plan, book a demo here.

When a user is removed from a workspace or their account is terminated, the content they created in the workspace (e.g., videos or templates, etc) remains in the workspace and accessible to other workspace members.

What happens to the user's videos?

  • Workspace videos: Any videos or templates created by the user in the workspace stay accessible to other workspace members.

  • My Videos: Videos in the deleted user’s My Videos section that were shared with others will still be accessible to those members.

    • If someone has Full access to a shared video, they can move it to the Workspace section.
