What is Vidyard?
Vidyard bolts disclosure controls onto the AI avatars it spent the spring sharing.
August brings the administrative half of the avatar story: admins can switch on an AI label that appears automatically on every Vidyard avatar video, and videos can now carry multiple language audio tracks alongside the automatic captions shipped earlier. The April release that made AI avatars shareable across a team — with access grants and usage tracking — remains the substantive move; everything since has been controls and reach around it.
What is Juuno?
The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.

Vidyard
0.0MARKETING
Vidyard bolts disclosure controls onto the AI avatars it spent the spring sharing.
◆ Current state
August brings the administrative half of the avatar story: admins can switch on an AI label that appears automatically on every Vidyard avatar video, and videos can now carry multiple language audio tracks alongside the automatic captions shipped earlier. The April release that made AI avatars shareable across a team — with access grants and usage tracking — remains the substantive move; everything since has been controls and reach around it.
◆ Where it's heading
Vidyard is building for teams rather than individual sellers, and the current work is what that obliges: once a teammate can generate video using someone else's likeness, the product needs to say so on the output. Account-level disclosure and multi-track audio both treat the video as an artifact that has to satisfy an audience and a compliance reviewer, not just a recipient. The viewer-facing thread — captions by default, floating playback, now language choice — is consistently about a message landing without the viewer working for it.
◆ Prediction
The disclosure toggle covers avatar videos only, so the open question is whether labelling extends to other AI-touched output such as AI-generated scripts or edits. Expect approval workflows over who may generate with whose likeness to follow, since usage tracking records what happened but does not gate it.
Juuno

The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
◆ Current state
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc through 2026 is a signage vendor building out a library of small, self-contained screen apps and then repeatedly returning to fix the surfaces that host them — playlists, scenes, schedules and the media library. Commercially the direction is already set: Screen Analytics went out free in beta in March explicitly destined for a paid tier, and the Growth plan shipped in July. August adds no pricing news and instead spends its length on app configuration consistency and a long list of playback and layout fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Yelp app to return from its pause and more single-purpose screen apps to follow the Clock and WiFi QR pattern. Whether Screen Analytics moves behind the Growth plan is the open question these notes do not answer.
