EchoVideo

We would like the links generated for recordings to be non-public by default so staff make a conscious decision to create a link that is accessible to individuals outside of the institution. When instructors are sharing recordings, they will often see the share options in the library and create a link to share with colleagues. They fail to realise this link is accessible to anyone, not just institutional echo360 users and this could lead to potential data breaches. This is compounded by the fact the link is then only accessible by the media publishing page, which instructors may no visit routinely.

As you are altering your platform to improve support for folders, collections and consider public access to materials, the end to end user experience for the university becomes a key challenge. Ideally once we get to implementing public folders or collections within EchoVideo we will be looking for that university YouTube experience. To achieve this we will need a vanity URL that can take the user to the public page with option to login. The current workflow of entering your email address and selecting you echo instance will not translate into a 'youTube' experience.

We love the use of the Collections however when there on more than 2+ individuals to add it is cumbersome and time consuming to adding those individuals. I know that users can join a Collection via a link, however our institution has public links turned off. Please consider a bulk add for users in a Collection please.

Please enable bulk video downloads for sections and groups.

When cloning a section from the instructor role (in a section's Settings >> Features) the course name does not include the course code. The admin role does show the course code when cloning from the courses tab. Can these functions be brought into alignment?

As an Admin/Instructor I regularly make copies of my content shortly after it is created. If I create a capture, I can make a copy of the capture once the media processing of the original is done. However, if I make that copy before the transcript is returned to the original, the transcript is never applied to the copy I made. Please apply the transcript returned for the original media to the copy in this scenario.

We are aware that the option for students to download from an embed is available however there is no option for student download at a granular level. Is it possible to have the ability to enable/ disable a download option for the embedded player at a more granular level for students?

When publishing an existing course to a new section, it would be great if all previously recordings of the course also get added to the new section, rather than only subsequent classes. Perhaps there could be a button that automatically populates previous recordings once the new section is chosen.

I don't use classes. I embed my videos into our LMS/Blackboard. I can see the analytics tab in Echo, but the heatmap is not available on any of my embedded videos. It's the same media player and the data appears in the analytics. I don't understand why the heat map feature is unavailable. Category might be Other: Analytics, but I chose Reporting from the available list.

As Admin or instructor, I need to be able to search the Recycle Bin for the name of media without being case sensitive in my search. Right now, the search is case sensitive. As an example, if there is a video called "My AdHoc", and I search "my AdHoc" it will not return any results. I have to search using the exact naming ("My AdHoc") to locate that capture in the recycle bin.
