EchoVideo

Our previous video platform processed/rendered videos quite quickly. Echo360 seems to take about as long to process and be available for viewing as the video is in duration. Is there a way that processing time can be shortened?

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.

I think it would be really handy to be able to use boolean operators to help filter results in the search field.

Interactive slides seem to take up a much smaller space than is available. This is particularly important for students who are interacting through cell phones. They need to be able to see the phone number to text to and the string to include in the text from the projector. Bigger, bigger, bigger.

At a recent Accessibility Fair, I was able to view Microsoft Translator in action during a session. The speaker was not a native "American" English speaker and seemed to mumble at times, but the Translator was able to keep up with him and provide near perfect, live, English transcription that I could view on my cell phone or on my computer in any of more than 60 different languages. I was wondering if there would be a way for Echo360 to incorporate Microsoft Translator into Live Streams? I don't have any idea what this would look like in the live stream environment, but the thought would be that it could be used as not only a translation service (11 supported speech languages that translate into over 60 different languages), but also as a live closed caption method. The Microsoft Translator Hub is where the developers would get the API and other coding information: https://hub.microsofttranslator.com/ Just my thoughts; I'm interested in yours.

As an echo admin I often troubleshoot the LTI course links to see if they meet instructor expectations. When clicking a course link in Blackboard via LTI, an administrator has their role set to instructor and there is no option to return to the administrator role without logging out and logging back in again. This is a frustrating, time consuming workflow. We would like to see the LTI recognise our admin status and not change it, or give us the ability to change back into admin role via the profile icon.

Add Collections as an option during the Easy Embed process in addition to the current features.

We would like to be able to utilise Amazon Transcribe's custom vocabulary function to add new words to the ASR transcription vocab. This would be particularly useful for adding important words from indigenous languages, to help foster inclusivity

As Admin it would be nice if there was an easy way of identifing who the owner of a collection is. When you look at collections to help troubleshoot, I have no idea who owns what.

The new playlist feature released in Q4 2023 is very welcomed, however we require the ability to edit playlists after they have been created and saved. Can we please request the ability for videos to be added/removed and metadata updated after a playlist has been created and saved? Note that at our institution, a playlist that is created once and never updated would be an extremely rare occurrence, meaning we are unable to promote this amazing new feature until we have editing capability.
