A video link (or any other type link from jw.org or secular) pasted into a study note can be opened by selecting or highlighting the link, and choose Open Link in the bar that pops up.  It will open the video in a separate window.  That's all there is to it.  It essentially converts the 'text' into a live link and opens it.

 

The tricky part is when adding to a study note or opening a link in a study note you've created in an article, you have to choose 'Edit' by clicking on the 3 small dots in the upper right corner of your created note. In 'Edit' mode, you can edit the text body, the title of the note, and add or open link text by highlighting it.

 

If you are doing your editing from the Personal Study tab, it's easier to edit, add link text, 'Open Link',  add tags, etc. Might have to 'right click' or similar to get the edit bar/box to pop up. There are slight differences depending on what device/brand/op system, etc. you are using.

 

Here’s a screen shot of 3 links, one a video, one a Watchtower article, and one, a secular link on an unrelated topic in our Weekly Bible reading, just for illustration that a secular link also can be added:

 

 

Study notes are light years ahead of where we started and keep getting better all the time.  

Just make sure that on the setting of the app from phone setting, make sure that in 'Open by default', the www.jw.org is checked ✅

 

So it will automatically open any link from jw.org to the JW Library app

• The current Watchtower study article displays directly on the Meetings tab.

 

I am not seeing anything different.

If you are using Windows, it hasen't updated yet.  If you are using Apple or Android and have updated the JW Library, the <meetings> icon used to automatically open to a Watchtower header (see below).

 

Now, when you click on <meetings> it automatically just opens the appropriate Watchower directly into the study.

JW Library® 

Version 15.0.1

 

- In the text view of a sign language publication, selecting a Bible citation now displays parallel translations in the study pane.

- Several issues are fixed, including some causing the app to crash.
