EchoVideo

We currently have a default player style that includes bump-in and bump-out videos to meet our university’s copyright requirements. This player style is set as the default within our EchoVideo environment to encourage staff to use the correct player when creating and uploading media for our Learning Management System. While this setup works well for teaching materials, we’ve encountered an issue with student video assignments. When students submit videos via the EchoVideo student assignment submission media picker, the system applies the default player style—resulting in our university’s copyright branding appearing on student-created content. What we need is a way to assign an alternate player style (one that is not the default) specifically for student submissions. This would ensure that student-generated content is displayed without university copyright branding while maintaining the correct setup for teaching and learning materials.

We desire more information be provided to students using the 'hide my name' toggle in Q&A. For example -Change the toggle label to 'Hide my name to other students' and; -Add a tooltip along side the toggle stating 'Your name will be hidden to other students, however your instructor is always able to see your name against your Q&A posts and replies' (or words to that effect). We believe this change would help stem student misuse of Q&A, as it seems a small number of students assume full anonymity when using the 'hide my name' function and post inappropriate content. Thank you.

As an admin, I use EchoVideo's ASR to allow our staff to edit and create closed captions and push to the CC tract to ensure ADA compliance. We have multiple people who work on this process, and I need a way to filter in the CAPTURES TAB, to identify the videos that already have a CC tract with it to provide efficiency.

Hi im trying to multitask and try to see the caption along with the video but the proportion is horrible, is there anyway to deal with this matter? It would also be beneficial that the T symbol along at the bottom of the video/lecture to work whilst on fullscreen.

We would love to have an immediate sync of scores from Echo360 to the Canvas gradebook. Currently, the quickest frequency is syncing once a day. Having the ability to pass scores back immediately would unlock so many learning opportunities for our users. We could utilize data from Echo360 with existing Canvas tools to personalize the learner experience immediately instead of having to wait 24 hours or manually perform a sync. A few examples: • Using the video view percentage sent from Echo360 to release content within the Canvas course using module requirements ("watch the video before you can access the quiz") • Using the correct response rate to guide learners to target resources within the Canvas course using Mastery Paths ("since you only answered half the questions correctly, here's some remedial materials instead of the next lesson") • Using the total response rate sent from Echo360 to release content within the Canvas course using module requirements ("having answered all the questions, you can now post in the Canvas discussion board")

When I view an LMS page where EchoVideo media is embedded, it can take a long time to load on the page (longer than comparable systems). Given that all EchoVideo media has a thumbnail (auto-generated or manually selected) then it seems to make sense that this could be surfaced when the page loads?

Our institution has several areas that need access to the reporting API for Echo360. We are currently sharing credentials across these areas and have had clashes in the past where the pending report limit has been reached for our institution because of simultaneous requests from different areas. Even when there aren't clashes we need to be mindful of others using the system and coordinate the consumption of data; something we don't need to do for other systems of this scale. If we could get separate credentials to allocate to our teams and if each set of credentials could have distinct pending report request limits that would smooth our use of the data considerably.

It would be great to be able to select multiple videos from the Captures tab and do a Bulk Action of Publishing to a specific course section. We often have videos that are in an instructor's library that need to be moved to a section. I can currently only do this individual video by video.

When diagnosing the recent admin embedding bug in Canvas, we realised that if a user is an Echo admin, but is NOT a Canvas admin at the level they're editing, when they go to embed a video they're only presented with their own library. If they are admins in both, they get to search the entire institution. Why are their Echo permissions seemingly dependent on their Canvas ones? We have LDs who are Echo admins but not Canvas admins (for a variety of reasons), but we'd like them to be able to search all of Echo to find the videos they need to embed (owned by another lecturer).

As a University with many multilingual students, we would like a way to translate both new and existing transcripts into Spanish (or another language) so that Students/Learners can select which language is used in the transcript pane of the player.
