New Videos on JW Library

[mserskine]

These videos that were just released under "What's New?" must be the ones that will be shown next month during the mid week meeting. Where they are on the web site I can't find.

Cool!    

I've been wanting a "JW Library App For Dummies".

In the HELP section

The links show the "Video" icon, but I'm not seeing any actual videos, only text-based pages.

This is simplified version LOL    

[jwhess]

The links take you to the "online library help".  Those 'help' pages were there before.  The help shown is device specific (Android, Apple, Windows).  I don't believe the Midweek Meeting parts in May would require a specific device to attend and benefit from the program.  Maybe the videos will come along soon.  I anxiously await.

The videos are up in Spanish .That means they've got to be up in English.

Could it be an "elder-only" thing on event media login?  I don't see them anywhere.

 

EDIT:  I just went back to JW.ORG and the videos are there now (English).

New Info.

[On the huh]

The videos are there, except for 2 - Use History and Download Bibles.

I guess they had to pick one device for the videos, and they picked Android.  In my congregation it is a tie between iPad and Android users, and only 2 Windows users.

They came up in Croatian for me.  But the "Language" selection tab was visible on the left and English was second on the list.

I try not posting English specific links as we are a multilingual community here.  The links are for all languages and can easily be selected by clicking on the language required on the left.

For the week of May 2, the Item on the JW Library, the workbook says

"Begin with a five-minute discussion of the article. Then play and briefly discuss the video Start Using “JW Library.” Afterward, do the same with the videos Download and Manage Publications and Customize the Reading Experience."

 

The three videos to be played total 12 minutes.  How do you begin with a 5 minute discussion, in a 15 minute part and still have time to discuss each video afterward?

I think it will be like John suggested:

I think the videos to play at the CLAM would be shorter and more general (non-platform), only showing highlights from that section. And the brother assigned to that part could say to look on the Help section for platform-specific and more detailed instructions and videos.

 

Again, I think...

Orthography.

[jwhess]

And if not....it will be like the "Sail Amsterdam" video.  We will go overtime, hope the parts before us are 'or less' in length or maybe take 5 minutes from the Bible Study part.

I know but what were the changes made that were the reason for the updates?

[pnutts]

Haven't had a chance to see what changes.

[On the huh]

I think the Study Watchtowers now include information used for the Meetings tab.
