YMCA's Digital Services Updates

So, without further ado, let’s look at the changes and updated schedule for this release.  

Highlights

Member Experience Enhancements 

• Live Schedule - A 7-day scrollable view of your live streams and virtual meetings combined into one comprehensive, mobile-friendly Live Events calendar allowing members to quickly find activity information. 
• Favorites - Members can now “favorite” content that is most appealing to them which is accessible from a customizable dashboard. This makes it easier for members to keep track of what they liked. 
• Categories - Categories have been greatly improved. Now all four content types can be grouped into single categories and viewed from a convenient listing page. If a member selects a category, they can now see all of the videos, live streams, blog posts in that category! 

Design Enhancements 

• New Headline Banner - Has your YMCA wanted to market or promote popular classes or simply alert your members to something new and exciting? There is now a prominent space for that! 
• New Personalization Section - Members can now view a calendar-based event schedule, favorited content, categories, and conveniently sign out all within a new personalization banner. 
• New Tile Design - The on-demand and live stream tile design has been updated providing members updated “at-a-glance" content as well as different color schemes for both. 
• New Menu System - Virtual Y now has its own menu system, optimized for mobile. Menu colors are now configurable from the administrator interface. 

Administrative Enhancements 

• Category Ordering - Categories can now be ordered. Perhaps you find some categories are more popular than others, you can now promote those to be listed first. 
• YouTube Playlist Support - If you paste in a playlist link for a video, your Virtual Y will pull the correct video.  
• Video Event Logging - Want to know when members start videos or live streams? We log that for you now.
