Getting Started with Brightcove Video Connect for Adobe Experience Manager
Which version do I need?
AEM ships in two fundamentally different runtimes, and the connector is built and versioned separately for each. Choose the line that matches your AEM environment:
| Your AEM environment | Connector line | Current version |
|---|---|---|
| AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) | Cloud | 7.1.x |
| On-premise AEM 6.5 / Adobe Managed Services | On-Premise | 6.0.x |
Releases
The table below lists the current and recent releases of the connector. Click a Download link to open that release on GitHub, where the installable content packages (brightcove.all-<version>.zip and, on the 7.1 line, brightcove.ui.apps-<version>.zip) are attached as assets. For the full release history, see the Releases page on GitHub.
| Version | Line | Released | Download | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.1.4.2 | Cloud | June 2026 | 7.1.4.2-cloud | Latest Cloud release. Fixes videos published from a Brightcove-managed subfolder landing in the default folder instead of the mapped folder, so publishing and the Sync to Brightcove action now behave identically. |
| 7.1.4 | Cloud | May 2026 | 7.1.4-cloud | Fixes the Brightcove tab on DAM asset properties rendering blank. |
| 7.1.0 – 7.1.3 | Cloud | Mar – Apr 2026 | GitHub Releases | 7.1 line: Brightcove Admin (video library) console refinements and metadata-editing fixes. |
| 7.0.0 – 7.0.3 | Cloud | Dec 2025 – Mar 2026 | GitHub Releases | 7.0 line: rebased onto the AEM as a Cloud Service SDK; refreshes the players list when the account ID is changed in the AEM authoring view. |
| 6.0.12 | On-Premise | February 2026 | 6.0.12-prem | Latest On-Premise release for AEM 6.x. Maintenance and dependency updates. |
| 6.1.x (Cloud) / 6.0.x (On-Premise) | Legacy 6.x | 2022 – 2025 | GitHub Releases |
The 6.x line introduced major features still present today:
6.1.x, On-Premise 6.0.x); the 7.x line is Cloud-only, with On-Premise continuing on 6.0.x.
|
| 5.x and earlier | — | ≤ 2022 | End of life | No longer supported. These versions predate the Cloud / On-Premise split and rely on retired AEM and Brightcove platform features. Upgrade to a current release. |
