How Visla Does Video Collaboration
Visla redefines how teams collaborate on video projects. With our new Workspaces and Teamspaces, Visla ensures that video collaboration is seamless, efficient, and highly productive.
Workspaces and Teamspaces, Explained
Workspaces: Think of a Visla Workspace as your digital headquarters. It’s the central hub where your entire team can come together to manage video projects. Each Workspace serves as a comprehensive environment, containing everything necessary for video collaboration.
Teamspaces: Within each Workspace, you have Teamspaces. These are dedicated areas for specific teams, projects, clients, or whatever else you need them for, enabling focused and organized collaboration. In a Teamspace, teams can share footage, create and edit videos, and work towards approval in a streamlined manner.
Manage Assets
Managing video assets has never been easier with Visla’s Workspaces. You can upload, organize, and share footage within your team and organization, making sure that everyone you’re working with has access to the latest assets.
Edit Together
Collaborative video editing is seamless in a Visla Teamspace. You can easily pass off editing tasks between different team members, ensuring a smooth workflow without stepping on each other’s toes. For a focused editing workflow, Visla allows one team member to edit a video at a time. Other team members can quickly request access to make their own edits.
Each team member can always access the latest version of the project and make edits. This collaborative capability improves productivity and ensures that everyone is aligned throughout the editing process.
Easy Approval Pipelines
Visla’s commenting features simplify the feedback and approval process for video projects. Team members can directly comment on video projects, easily highlighting areas for change or approval. This direct approach reduces misunderstandings and speeds up the approval process, ensuring that video projects move forward without unnecessary delays.

Benefits of Collaborating on Video Projects
While solo video creation is now very accessible, collaborating with a team elevates your work to the next level. A collaborative team environment brings diverse voices into the mix, ensuring a more broad range of ideas and perspectives. This diversity boosts creativity and leads to more compelling, true-to-life videos.
Collaboration also allows for the distribution of the video production workload, making the whole process more efficient and manageable. When each team member focuses on what they do best—scripting, filming, editing, or graphics—the result is a video that’s polished and visually stunning.
There’s another huge reason for effective collaboration. In any business, multiple stakeholders require involvement in video projects. These stakeholders may include clients, higher-ups, and other teams. Their input is valuable for ensuring the video aligns with business goals, resonates with the target audience, and meets all necessary requirements. Keeping these stakeholders in the loop throughout the production process is essential.

By leveraging such tools, businesses can elevate their video production efforts and achieve better results.
