Replacing a video in Vidalytics keeps things seamless - your embed code stays the same, but the content updates instantly. This means you can swap videos without changing the embed code on your website.
How It Works
When you replace Video A with Video B, your embed code remains unchanged, but it now points to the new video. Think of it as swapping out a sign in front of a store - the address stays the same, but what’s inside changes.
Here’s what happens behind the scenes:
Your embed keeps its original GUID (a unique identifier), but it now loads the new video.
CDN updates may take a little time, so if you don’t see the change immediately, give it a moment for the cache to refresh.
The old video isn’t deleted - it just no longer plays from that embed.
Why Does the Vidalytics Preview Still Show the Old Video?
If you check the preview inside Vidalytics and still see the original video, don’t worry - this is expected. Preview pages are tied to the video’s unique ID, not the embed code. Your embed on your website will display the new video once the cache updates.
✅ Your website embed will show the replaced video.
❌ Vidalytics preview pages will still display the original video.
