Transitioning to WeVideo Free Edition
Why the Change?
Due to low usage, the MCS Tech Advisory Committee has decided to discontinue the district-paid WeVideo license.
Effective 7/1/25 – All accounts will move to the free version.
Free Version Includes:
1GB storage
5-min export/month
Watermarks
Limited stock media
Content deleted after 90 days of inactivity
Free Version Does Not Include:
Classroom or collaboration features
Schoology integration
What Stays the Same?
✅ Projects remain accessible
✅ Access through MCS App Portal
✅ Google Single-Sign-On still works
Action Needed:
Teachers/students should export important projects before June 30, 2025 to ensure that there is enough export time and storage for the project.
Note: If a free account has more than 5 GB of storage, content will need to be downloaded first in order to create new content.
