EchoVideo

When a Zoom video is successfully ingested into EchoVideo, we would like to enable a workflow that relays the successful ingestion information back to Zoom with a request that Zoom automatically delete that video in Zoom. This is because we don't bring all Zoom content into EchoVideo - for the media that we do bring in, we don't want it in Zoom as well, and this automated workflow would manage that for us.

It would be helpful if instructors could see the room that is scheduled for a recording when viewing their Echo360 course section. We frequently have instructors who teach in a variety of rooms, and having the transparency for them to see the recording location for a scheduled capture would help reassure instructors that their captures have been scheduled correctly.

the auto-generated chapters did a decent job at sectioning, but there are several additional points it didn't catch. I added graphics to the video at the specific points I hoped for chapters and that part didn't go well. As I believe it's looking at the transcript, some key words might be "moving on," "next," "question #."

Now there is no way to collect user account creation date and creation source (whom create the record), on both webUI admin role and API/CSV. Please consider to develop new data type to extract these information. These can be collected through webUI, LTI, manual CSV or API.

The reporting API gives us great data as to what portions of the video (intervals) were played, down to the millisecond. This is super useful. What would make this even more useful is if this data was presented in chronologic order from the viewers perspective, rather than numerical order. That is, if I watch from 0:00 - 0:10, 5:00-6:00, then back to 2:00-4:00, it would be very valuable to know that this is the order that those views happened [0:00-0:10, 5:00-6:00, 2:00-4:00), rather than have as it is currently represented only the knowledge that the intervals viewed were [0:00-0:10, 2:00-4:00, 5:00-6:00]. This could likely just be a change to the existing field in the existing reports.

Currently, instructors can hide/unhide a recording or slide to students, but the class is still visible to students. It would be great to hide the whole class to the students as well.

In the course schedule view, it's impossible to determine at a glance how many schedules are active at the same time within a section - there may be more than one, but only one colour spot is placed over the date. It would be more helpful to show more than one where more than one is occurring.

Currently the exported report lists the students first and last names in a single data cell, so it cannot be sorted by last name.

Provide the ability to add a call out box (with a palette of colors to choose) and add a hyperlink functionality for linking to external resources to a video editor. Owners or those with edit permissions could add these features at specific start and end times anywhere in the video. This would help with calling a viewer's attention to important information on a topic(s) being taught. Adding a hyperlink functionality would also be valuable when there are external resources much like you can do with a media slide or a multiple-choice polling question > embed media. Or could also have the functionality to link to a Presentation. Adding these features would be valuable for viewer engagement while watching the video. Lastly, a reactions feature would also provide viewer's the ability to interact on the content while also giving the instructor feedback on student understanding and engagement without embedded polls. Microsoft Stream video player, and other video editors like Adobe Rush and Microsoft Clipchamp have call out features and hotspots (hyperlinks). Please consider adding this functionality to the EchoVideo media editor, doing so would save faculty time for downloading the video and editing it outside of the platform in advanced editors then uploading it back to EchoVideo to post in Canvas. These features would be valuable engagement elements to teaching and learners.

Our team works frequently between Echo and Canvas. Whenever we access Canvas and then access Echo, our admin role is demoted to instructor. This is cumbersome to have to always promote to admin after working in Canvas.
