My Library is a private workspace where you can upload media and recordings that live separately from your team's Shared Library.
Note
My Library is available to Account Owners, Managers, and Standard Users. It is not available to Limited Users.
Upload to My Library
Content you’ve added to My Library is not immediately visible to Account Owners and Managers unless they have been explicitly added as collaborators.
My Library will include two folders created for you by default: [Your Name]’s Uploads and [Your Name]’s Recordings. These are normal folders that can be deleted or renamed.
The same customization, embedding, sharing, and analytics options are available to media in My Library as in the Shared Library.
However, content in My Library cannot be archived or shared with “Anyone in my Wistia Account”. You must move media to the Shared Library before you can select that collaboration option.
Note
Any content uploaded to my library will contribute to your overall account usage.
Content can be moved from My Library to the Shared Library at any time. Note that content copied from My Library to the Shared Library will not retain analytics.
Folder permissions in My Library
By default, folders created in My Library have an access level of “Only Me”, meaning other users cannot access the content in that private library.
My Library folders cannot be shared with “Anyone in my Wistia Account”.
When adding a new folder to My Library, the following share options are available:
Only me: A private folder that other users cannot access.
Specific people: Invite others to collaborate on this folder.
Remove My Library for deleted users
When deleting a user, Account Owners and Managers are prompted to manage that user's My Library content before completing the deletion.
Ownership of the remaining content can be transferred to another user to ensure nothing is lost.
