TL;DR? You let us know that the Studio wasn’t exactly easy to use. So, we’re making it more streamlined to record and edit from anywhere in Wistia.

Why is the Studio going away?

The Studio served as a central hub for recordings and drafts, allowing users to initiate new recordings or drafts, and store them for future access.

We received a lot of super helpful feedback from users like you that this workflow was making things harder, not easier.

Plus, when we dug into usage, we also found that most of our users record, edit, and share their media right away! And we think that’s great. But, that also helped us understand that the Studio was a temporary space and not meeting your needs.

When did the Studio go away?

The Studio was removed in January 2024.

While we said goodbye to the “Studio,” recording and editing are still at your fingertips.
