EchoVideo

Thank you for the new H5P integration, it is a great start. In our testing we found that the link created to be shared with H5P is publicly accessible via a browser. This is not made clear when the link is created and could lead to videos that we want to remain private (or locked to institution) are now exposed to those outside of the organisation. In the short term I think it needs to be made clear that the link has public access so users are aware. Long term we would want to see some level of security built into the link sharing, i.e. authentication of the viewer, or restrictions that the link can only be viewed within the H5P player.

For sharing ad hoc recordings of events with external partners or other similar uses, it would be helpful to add a toggle on the "Links" page when sharing a video file from the "Captures" tab in EchoVideo that allows that file to be downloaded by people who receive the public link. To add a level of security, it would be great to add a "Private access" toggle and link generator as well, with the same toggle for enabling/disabling video download for people who have the link.

Would it be possible to please update the capture API to allow the ingest of extra fields, such as descriptions and tags, when importing media from other systems (such as in a migration) & map them to the appropriate metadata fields in EchoVideo.

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.

Hi Echo team, Right now the user account with Scheduler role has no way to receive email alert especially "Capture Device Offline or Missing", "Missing Audio Input", "Missed Capture". In real case, our clients has groups of technician who only taking care AV equipment including Echo POD/PRO. "Scheduler" is the role assigned to this groups of people. Now their account is lack of way to notify the device status. We request to have this alert functionality in upcoming EchoVideo release. Thanks! Regards, BEENET Team

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.

Admins and Instructors would like the ability to edit a video - or piece of interactive media- after the polls have been inserted

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.

We are looking to have 100% human transcription for classroom videos. We want to hire GMR and have them work within the Echo360 system. Thank you!
