EchoVideo

The five existing EchoVideo role types - Administrator, Scheduler, Instructor, Teaching Assistant and Student - doesn't sufficiently cover our needs. Ideally we would like to be able to create our own roles with specific privileges/permissions assigned. For example, a service desk role might need read-only access to the Admin interface whereas an AV role might need access to the Captures and Rooms tabs without being able to view/edit Feature settings.

It would be very helpful to have a link on the scheduling page in a course that navigates to the instructor view of the course page. I'm often having to navigate between the two, usually setting up scheduled captures for instructors and then confirming the schedule and other course settings. Having to go back to the main courses page and finding the course page again is tedious.

We would like to request support for MathML within EchoVideo's polling functionality, specifically the ability to enter MathML in both the question field and answer options. MathML is the highest standard for mathematical accessibility and ensures that math content renders correctly and is accessible to all students, including those using assistive technologies. Currently our math faculty have no way to input mathematical expressions in this format when building polls, which is a significant gap for STEM instruction.

Match the size of control elements so they're all the same minimum size - the side drawer pull out (>) on the left hand side is tiny and inconsequentially coloured where the overlay controls are a huge contrasting colour, and the filter button is again another height. This increases the cognitive load of working in the platform, as each element needs to be looked at consciously to determine if it's a control, embellishment, or setting.

Several faculty members that embed media in Canvas have indicated that they are manually adding up the percentage of videos watched by each student. Can this be something that automatically displays to instructors? Like it does in a section? https://support.echo360.com/hc/en-us/articles/11077383801997-EchoVideo-Course-Analytics-Student-Data

We would like to see the raw numbers as well as the percentages in the available analytics. A specific example being the addition of the raw values to the engagement card so we can see actual numbers instead of just a percentage that we then have to calculate into a value.

We would like the ability to define a Custom Dictionary that can be used for a given subject area i.e. Medical, Legal, etc.

We would like to request the ability to display the video still from the timestamp where a poll is inserted as part of the poll itself. This would allow the frame visible at that moment in the video to serve as a visual reference for the poll question and answer choices. For math faculty this would be particularly useful, as an equation or problem written on a whiteboard or shown on screen could be referenced directly without needing to re-enter it in the poll. Students would answer based on what is visible in the still rather than requiring the question to be typed out separately. This would also have appeal across other disciplines where answering a question based on what is currently on screen would enhance the polling experience.

Add a "watch next video in this module" for courses where lectures are uploaded into modules. It is very frustrating as a student to have to scroll down to the module after every video when we have 10 videos in a module that comes later in the list.
