Who can see the Media Details Page?
All users who have media in their Library can view the details page for that media.
All Admins can view details for media from the Captures page.
All Instructors and Teaching Assistants can view the details page for media in their courses.
As the name would imply, the Media Details Page provides details about the media and gives access to all of the things you can do with the media. This article provides some basic information. You can find detailed descriptions of the page and its contents in The Media Details Page help article.
There are two ways to access the Media Details Page:
- Click on a media tile in your EchoVideo Library.
- Click on the media icon in the Class List of your course and select Details from the menu.
This is not available for students.
If you are a student with no items in your Library or do not have a Library option in the top navigation shown above, this article does not apply to you. You can only view media embedded in an LMS / VLE page, through your EchoVideo course classes, or through a Collection you are a member of.
The top right area of the Media Details Page has a playback or preview panel. This allows you to play the video or page through the slides. The area immediately below the playback panel contains the creation date, media type, description, and IDs.
Media Info
Only video, audio, or interactive media share the same media actions. Media Info consists of four sections: Details, Publishing, Analytics, and History.
The media is playable in the upper right corner of the page across all Media Info tabs. The creation date, type, owner, and IDs are visible underneath the media. The vertical action menu above the media allows users to Duplicate, Archive, set Chapters (Beta), or send the media to the Trash.
Details
The tabs shown for the media on the details page are described below. Which commands are available to you depends on your role in the system and whether you own this media piece. You cannot perform that action on this media if a command is grayed out and not selectable.
- General - This includes editable basic information such as title, description, and tags. See also Editing Media Name and Description.
- Source - The source type and whether the media was auto-published are stated here. The Source Files are also retained here for 30 days.
- Processed Files - Where downloads are turned on, you can download a copy of the media to your local drive. If it is a video, choose which video stream (if more than one), quality, or download only the audio of the file. See also Downloading Content to your Computer.
