EchoVideo: Editing Media Name and Description

The look and feel of the Player is changing in December with the Q4 release. Upcoming changes are identified in this article by providing screenshots labeled "Old UI" and "New UI".

When media is generated (like a capture) or uploaded to the system, it gets a file name or other title identifier that may or may not be descriptive of the media. Especially in the case of classroom captures, the captured video may have the same title as the section to which it is published, with no differentiation from one captured lecture to another. For uploaded videos or presentations, the original file name may appear as the title of the content.

EchoVideo allows you to edit the media details as needed, providing a more descriptive title, and making the content easier to find in your Library or a Collection. You can also add a description and keyword tags. 

To edit the name and/or description of media

1. There are a few ways to open the Edit media details dialog box:
   • Click the media tile button and select Edit Details. This is the same for both Library media tiles and Collection media tiles.
   • Click on the media tile to open the media details, page, then select Edit Details located below the preview/playback panel, as identified in the below figure. This is the same for both the Library media details page and the Collection media details page.
     
   • Click a media icon from the Class List and select Edit Details (instructors only).
     
2. In the Edit Media Details dialog box, enter or edit the Title, Description, and / or Tags as necessary. Separate multiple tags with commas.
   
3. Click SAVE.

The media tile information changes to show the new Title/Name, and the new title and description appear below the media preview pane in the content details page, both shown in the figures below.
