How to add and edit videos in the Video Library

Add a video from a file or YouTube link, choose who can watch, and edit details in the Video Library.

New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience, which is available now. As of September 28, 2026, New Horizon is the default starting point on a computer or laptop. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. If you still have the older layout, choose Switch to New Horizon from the banner or your account menu. You can switch back to Legacy Horizon from that menu any time during the transition.

​

Open Video Library (menu label Videos). The subtitle is Watch videos from your organization and add comments. Everyday members watch and comment. Organization administrators (and people who added a video) can add and edit.

​

If the organization turned the feature off, you see Video Library Disabled and The video library feature has been disabled by your officiating organization.

​


​

Add a video

​

Choose Add Video (or Add New Video). Horizon asks How do you want to add this video? with Select an option, then:

​

  • Upload a new video from my computer

  • Retrieve an existing YouTube video

​

Continue through the sections that appear for your choice: Video details, Who can watch, Notifications, and either Video file or YouTube link.

​


​

Video details

​

Enter a Video Title (5 to 50 characters) and a Video Description (at least 15 characters).

​


​

Who can watch and notifications

​

Send to specific Officials (or your organization's word for officials) limits the audience. Leave the list blank so everyone is included. Horizon reminds you: It is not necessary to select every person. If you want everyone included, leave the list blank. Use this option only when you want a smaller group.

​

When teams are on, you may also see Viewable by coaches and athletic directors? When teams are off, the wording may be Viewable by people who are not Officials? (with your organization's labels).

​

Under Notifications, Email Officials about this new video (with your organization's word) starts on. Turn it off if you do not want that email.

​


​

Upload from your computer

​

On Video file, read the advisories: maximum length is 12 hours per video; very large files may need a current browser; copyrighted material may be removed. Choose Select video file or use Browse for your video above or drag and drop a video file here. Most video formats are accepted, including MP4.

​

Choose Upload Video Now and watch Upload progress. When it finishes, Horizon may say your video was uploaded and that YouTube may need time to finish processing before it can play. Uploads are stored on YouTube as unlisted. See Learn about YouTube privacy when that link is shown.

​


​

Add an existing YouTube video

​

On YouTube link, paste the Link to YouTube video from the browser while you are viewing the video on YouTube. Choose Add YouTube Video. Horizon confirms when the video was added, or explains if the link is invalid, private, already in the library, or unavailable.

​


​

Edit a video

​

If you added the video, or you are an organization administrator, open the video actions and choose Edit. The window is Edit Video Information. Change the title, description, and who else can watch when those fields apply, then Save Changes. Horizon shows Video information saved. Edits show up in the list right away.

​

Organization administrators can also Delete Video when the product allows. That permanently removes the video from your library.

​


​

Watch and comment

​

Use Select a Video to Watch to open a title. Members can Write a public comment, and organization tools may include pin, unpin, and delete comment when those controls appear.

​


​

If you still see the older layout

​

On a computer or laptop, the older legacy layout stays only if you switched back to Legacy Horizon. As of September 28, 2026, New Horizon is the default starting point. Choose Switch to New Horizon from the banner or your account menu to return. This article describes the New Horizon Video Library add and edit flow. Until that older layout is retired, use the English words you see on the older upload screens.
