The All tab brings your owned and shared content together in one place.
  1. Sign in to Screencastify and navigate to My Library.
  2. Select the All tab.
  3. Browse the videos and folders you own or that have been shared with you.
  4. Expand or collapse the folders section to focus on the content you want to view.

Troubleshooting Missing Content or Search Results

If you cannot locate a video, folder, or other content:

  1. Check your organization. Confirm you're viewing the organization where the content was created or shared.
  2. Review your filters. Remove any active filters that may be excluding the content.
  3. Try a different search term. Check spelling or use a shorter search phrase.
  4. Verify sharing permissions. If another user owns the content, confirm they've shared it with you.
  5. Refresh the page. Reload My Library and try again.

If the content still doesn't appear, contact our Support team with the content title, organization name, and a description of what you're experiencing.
