This article investigates how the creation of multilingual educational videos can contribute to the development of key teaching competences in pre-service educators. It draws on a long-term innovation project carried out at the University of Oviedo, Spain, and partner institutions between 2018 and 2024. The Didactictac TV platform was used to facilitate the production and dissemination of over 600 short instruc- tional videos across a wide range of subjects and languages. The project involved more than 4,000 university students and 60 lecturers and researchers from differ- ent educational fields. Data was collected through online questionnaires to explore university participants’ experiences, perceptions, and learning outcomes. The find- ings suggest that collaborative video production fosters not only digital and artistic competences but also communicative, teamwork and pedagogical skills. Participants reported increased motivation and confidence in their ability to integrate audiovis- ual tools into their future teaching practice. The diversity of topics, languages and formats reflected the flexibility and scalability of the approach across contexts. The project offers a transferable model for using multilingual video creation to connect university and school communities, enhance teaching skills and promote open edu- cational resources. This work provides insight into how shared digital platforms can bridge educational stages, support innovation in teacher education and enrich the learning experience through creative, collaborative practice.
