An Introduction to your Libraries

Understanding the Personal, Shared, and Team libraries and how they work.

When you create a Jumpshare account, you get a default Workspace. The Workspace is the name of your company, team, or organization. Each Workspace comes with a Personal, Shared, and Team Library.

The Personal Library

The Personal Library is your own private library. Everyone on the Workspace gets their own personal library. All the video recordings and screenshots you take via the desktop app get uploaded directly to your Personal Library. From here you can share your files with anyone, move files to the Team Library, or invite individual members to collaborate on these files in the Shared Library.

The Shared Library

The Shared Library is for internal team collaboration. If you invite specific members in the Workspace to collaborate on a file, only they will be able to view and access the file you've shared. This file will appear in the Shared Library, regardless of whether your collaborator has accepted the Invite link.

The Team Library

The Team Library is a shared space where all Workspace members can collaborate seamlessly. You can move files between your Personal Library and the Team Library, or upload files directly to share with your team.

Uploads like screen recordings and screenshots are saved to your Personal Library by default, but you can switch to the Team Library to share files. Once uploaded, all team members are instantly notified, ensuring quick access and collaboration.


Note that Administrators of your team have complete control over all accounts, which also includes complete access to team members’ files in both personal and team library.

Can I disable notifications for team library activity?

Yes, you can disable desktop notifications for uploads or comments left by team members in the Team Library. Here's how:

  1. Open the Jumpshare app and click the Cogwheel icon.
  2. From the dropdown menu, select Preferences to open the Preferences window.
  3. Go to the More tab.
  4. Uncheck the notifications you do not wish to receive.

This will stop the app from sending unnecessary notifications to your desktop.
