Covideo Mobile App Updates
New Features
AI Features: We are thrilled to introduce the next generation of video communication. Our AI features are built around three core goals: helping you Create high-quality content, Accelerate your response times, and Enhance the professional look of every message.
Quick Video – Our fastest workflow yet. The videos consist of a dealership video (pre-made assets for the entire team) and a user video from a personal library or quick response videos. Admins configure these video types in the back office. Adding a recipient and vehicle affects the automatically generated script for email and SMS.
Auto-Stabilization: The app now detects your device's hardware and automatically sets video stabilization to the highest supported level for smooth footage without lag.
AI Music – Add the perfect vibe to your message. AI-generated background music automatically balances its volume against video audio, ensuring the music enhances—rather than overpowers—your message.
More soon to come!
Enhancements
Video Recording & Editing
Pre-upload Preview: Review your masterpiece before it goes live with a new preview screen added before the upload.
Quick Audio: Manage sound to your videos directly without entering full Video Editor Mode.
Unified Gallery Experience: Adding clips during recording is now more intuitive with a unified gallery interface across all sources.
User Experience & Navigation
Smart Library Navigation: The app now remembers your last used folder location. When you enter the Library, you’ll land exactly in the last you used.
Streamlined Password Reset: The reset password screen now requires only a Username. Email input has been removed.
Improved Internet Connection Alerts: Old banner messages have been replaced with Modals. These trigger once per upload and won't interrupt you during the recording flow.
Cleaned up Menu: The "Reports" section has been moved under the "More" tab for users with a lead dashboard or Quick Videos.
Language Support: Added French and Spanish translations for all default folders.
Lead Management
Smart Contact Validation: The app now automatically detects if a lead can receive a video. If a contact has no valid email/SMS or has opted out, the "Send/Share" buttons will be greyed out with an explanatory message on the lead card.
Quick Video Selection: We’ve expanded the selectable area for video types. Videos requiring specific input are now highlighted with shading for better visibility.
Video Count Update: The "Video Count" button has been moved directly above the "Create Video" button and updated to "[Number] Sent" for better clarity.
Analytics & Support
Enhanced Team Stats: The "My Team Stats" widget now matches the online version and displays the total number of sent videos by the team, rather than just unique videos.
Direct Support Links: If your inventory integration is inactive, you’ll now see a helpful message with direct contact info (800-306-1445 or support@covideo.com) to get it activated quickly.
Bugfixes
Sharing Permissions: Fixed a crash/stall issue that occurred when attempting to share another user’s AI Quick Video. Sharing is now properly disabled for non-owners.
HDR10+ Compatibility: Resolved a crash caused by using the HDR10+ codec on native videos.
Account Notifications: Fixed an issue where users with multiple Covideo accounts were not consistently receiving notifications.
Covideo Backoffice Updates
Enhancements
Search logic enhancement in multi-location manager: Perform "reverse searches" by entering a specific Store Name or Store ID to instantly identify its Parent Account or Automotive Group.
Smart folder landing: Instead of defaulting to the Primary Folder in the Library, the system will now remember and "land" you in the folder you last accessed.
Dealership map can now be displayed on every landing page by default: This moves away from the previous logic where a vehicle attachment was required to trigger the map view.
Delete system-default Video Types: Admins now have the freedom to delete these defaults and replace them entirely with their own custom labels.
Download and save images from Covideo SMS
Group and user data cleanup:
When you delete a group, you’ll have the option to delete all associated contacts
Any user names entered in ALL CAPS are now automatically converted to proper case
The system automatically removes trailing whitespaces from names, emails, usernames, titles, and phone extensions upon saving.
Bug fixes
Fixed a layout issue where the "Switch to Classic editor" button was being obstructed by the video player during annotation editing. The button is now fully visible and layered correctly.
