Description

  • Flag name: useVideoGalleryFlow
  • Flag details: Controls whether adding/editing a video opens the video selection gallery (on) or the legacy XBlock editor modal (off).
  • Removal date: It has been passed (2023-06-01, ~3 years ago).
  • Current status: Currently disabled by default; can be enabled via the waffle flag new_core_editors.use_video_gallery_flow.

What to do in this ticket

  1. Involve stakeholders / product owners to discuss and decide on the future of this flag.
  2. If we decide to enable it by default:
    1. Enable it by default in openedx-platform.
    2. Roll it out and gather feedback from the community.
    3. As a follow-up step, remove the waffle flag controlling this feature — provided we confirm it should remain an out-of-the-box feature.
