Some brand-new product updates from the Substack team:
Video. This week, we announced the rollout of a native video player on Substack. With this featureâcurrently in private betaâyou can upload or record videos directly into a Substack post. If youâd like to try this new video feature on your publication now, fill out this form to request to join the beta test. Stay tuned for the public rollout in a few weeks.
Word count. You asked, we listened, and the Substack editor now displays word count! To see the word count for a post, hover your cursor between the âVersion historyâ and âSettingsâ buttons at the bottom of the editor. Your word count will appear there.
Right-to-left script. Good news for writers writing in Arabic, Hebrew, Pashto, Urdu, and Sindhi: Substack now supports right-to-left script. Just start typing in your language of choice, and the Substack editor will align your text accordingly.
Weâll be back next week with our first Shoutout Thread of 2022. Join us on Thursday, Feb. 3, and come ready to share what youâve been reading and inspired by recently on Substack. Save it to your calendar so you donât miss it.
