Moniviestin Migration Guide

Automatic transfer of old content to the new system, i.e. migration.

The new Moniviestin video service was launched in August 2025. Previous content in the old Moniviestin will continue to function as before for the time being, but essential content must be marked for transfer to the new service by summer 2026.

Content producers can easily mark the content they want to keep for future use. Marked content will be automatically transferred to the new Moniviestin. Automatic transfers will begin in early 2026, and progress will be communicated separately. We will also add status updates to this help page.

Marking content for transfer

Content transfer is marked on a program-specific basis, meaning that you can handle even large entities with a single mark.

NOTE! By default, content will not be transferred, so it is important to review it yourself if you want to keep the old content.

If you want to continue to keep your essential and up-to-date content, do the following:

1 Log in to the old Moniviestin at https://m3.jyu.fi/jyumv/ and navigate to your program's page. On the program page, you will see a red box that says Not transferred to the new Moniviestin by default

2. Click the Update here link

3. Select the change: Mark for transfer and click Change status.

4. You will receive a confirmation that the transfer status has been updated.

5. The program page now displays a yellow box stating "Transferring to new Moniviestin." Everything is in order—the transfer will occur automatically, and you will receive an email confirming its success.

You can mark content for transfer at any time. You can start marking content right away, but automatic transfers will not begin until early 2026, after which they will be performed every night based on the markings.

If you wish, you can cancel the transfer before the automatic transfers begin.

Note: The contents of your own folder will not be transferred to the new folder, as these videos are intended for temporary use and will be automatically deleted 180 days after publication. If you want to keep the content published in My Folder, you can do so by downloading the video file to your device using the Downloads function below the video window (usually the best quality is marked "1080P"). You can publish this video file using the My Folder function in the new Moniviestin for the next 180 days.

Frequently asked questions about video migration

We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about the automatic transfer of videos from the old Moniviestin on this page. Click on a question to see the answer. If you cannot find the answer to your question on this page, please send a support request to video support via HelpJYU!

Will the video's publication status remain unchanged during the transfer?

I have embedded videos in Moodle so that the video is in private mode and the "Allow embedding in private mode" function is enabled. What will happen to the video during migration?

When transferring a video, embeds made in private mode are also taken into account. There is no direct equivalent for this feature in the new Moniviestin, but the "Unlisted" publishing mode works in almost the same way. If a video is in private mode in the old Moniviestin and the "Allow embedding in private mode" additional function is also selected, the video's mode will change to "Unlisted" after the transfer. In this case, the video will not be visible to viewers on Moniviestin and cannot be found using search functions, but if the video is viewed via embedding or the viewer knows the exact address of the media page, the recording can be viewed.

Will old video embeds still work after migration?

Embedded videos will continue to work even after the video has been transferred from the old Moniviestin to the new one. From the viewer's perspective, the change is very subtle—the only noticeable difference is that the video player displayed in the embed now matches the new Moniviestin interface. There is no need to change the embed code, as the old video embed will redirect the viewer to the correct location.

I have activated video transfer in the old Moniviestin. How do I know when the transfer has taken place?

Will subtitles be preserved when transferring recordings?

Will the pathkey protection I set earlier remain in use in the new Moniviestin?
