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

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 THE THINGS you can do with the media.

There are two ways to access the media details page:

• Click on a media tile in your EchoVideo Library.
  

OR...

• 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, and you have no items in your Library or you 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 section 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 title of the media, the date the media was created, and by whom the media was created. Below that is a set of commands along with other information. These are all described in the sections below. 

Old UI
New UI

The above figure shows the Details, Publishing, Analytics, and Activity tabs, which appear for all video / audio media. The contents of these are described in the sections below.

For Interactive Media, those four tabs and a Polling tab appear.

If this is a poll or a presentation slide deck, only two of the four tabs shown above appear: Details and Analytics.

Media Commands

The Commands 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.

• Share - Opens the Share Settings dialog box, allowing you to share the media with another EchoVideo user, create a public link, share to a Collection, or post to a class in an EchoVideo course. Anywhere from one to all four of these options may appear for you.
  Edit Media - Opens the video or presentation editor as appropriate to the type of media this is. See Editing a Video or Editing a Presentation as needed. This command is not available for Interactive Media. See the bullet for Add A Poll / Edit Polls below.
• Edit Transcript - Opens the Transcript Editor, where you can edit the transcript text and speaker identifications, and apply the transcript as closed captions if needed. See the articles located in Using the EchoVideo Transcript Editor. Does not appear for presentations.
• Chapters (Beta)- Chapters are like bookmarks that learners can use to quickly navigate to points in a recording and are a great way to provide context to the content in your media. Instructors can choose whether to add chaptering to their videos once it is enabled by an admin at the institution level.
• Add A Poll or Edit Polls - Opens the Interactive Media editor, where you can embed a poll into a video or edit (or add to) the polls already resident in the interactive media. Add Poll appears for a video; Edit Polls appears for interactive media (a video with polls already embedded in it).
• Edit Details - Opens the Edit Details dialog box where you can enter / edit a Title, Description, and Tags for the media. See also Editing Media Name and Description.
• Make A Copy - Creates a copy of the media that you now own. The copy appears in your library with your name on it as owner. See also Creating Copies of Media.
• Download - Allows you to download a copy of the media to your local drive. If it is a video, you are asked to make selections regarding video stream (if more than one), quality, or download only the audio of the file. You can also use the links to the processed files located in the Details tab to download files locally. See also Downloading Content to your Computer.
• Archive - Archives content and removes it from viewing access. This can only be done by an Administrator or by the owner. Archived content can be reviewed and restored, and content is fully restored exactly as is, previous to the archive. The created date is not reset and the content is in a protected state and won't be archived automatically again. Archived content never gets deleted, it just gets moved to cold storage.
• Trash - Soft deletes the media. Deleting it removes it from any classes, collections, other user's libraries, and any other linked or embedded locations to your Recycle Bin. This can only be done by an Administrator or by the owner. Soft deleted content can be fully restored for the period defined in your Institution policy before permanent deletion, and come back exactly as it was, including any links, embeds, class / lesson associations, analytics, etc.
  If the option shows Remove, this is a piece of shared media that is owned by someone else. Removing it only deletes it from YOUR Library. See also Deleting Your Echo Content.

Below the row of commands, you will see one or more tabs for this media, each containing different information or actions for the media. These are identified in the above figure and discussed in the following sections on this page.

The Details Tab

When you open the Media Details page, the Details tab for the media is shown by default. The main section of the Details tab contains the type of media, the campus, building, and room where the media was captured, the media source, and information on captions and transcripts (if you have those rights).

Old UI
New UI

The Captions entry in the General section of the Details tab identifies whether this video has a closed captioning file applied to it. It allows you to Add (upload) or Delete a closed captioning file. If enabled by an admin, users can order and manage closed captions for their videos.

The Transcripts entry in the General section identifies whether this video has been transcribed and allows you to Add transcriptions, download an existing transcript, or Edit the transcript. Whether you can control the transcripts for this media depends on your role, certain system settings for your institution, and whether or not you own the media. All users can order and manage transcripts for their videos if an admin enables them to do so.

The Source Files tab, the Processed Files tab, and the IDs tab may also contain media IDs and other information that can be copied and sent to your Administrator or to EchoVideo Support to troubleshoot issues with the media if you have any.

The Permissions tab allows you to change the owner of a piece of media. If enabled, you can also apply a copyright to the media, restrict downloads and unauthenticated viewing, and require users to acknowledge the copyright before viewing the media.

EchoVideo keeps the raw video (source) files for 30 days.

The Publishing Tab

What you see and can do in the Publishing Settings areas of the page depends on your role(s) in EchoVideo and whether or not you have access to certain features or functionality for this media. There are two main sections: Shared and Added to.

See also Share (Publish) and Unshare Media to a Course.

Old UI
New UI	The Sharing tab is becoming Publishing with the upcoming changes.

Collections

The Collections tab lists all of the collections where this media has been added and lets you add it to additional collections or remove it.

The only collections you can add this media to are those you are a member of, where you have Add & Upload media permissions. Similarly, you can only remove this media from a collection if you have Remove media permissions.

See the articles in the Using Collections section of the online help for more information.

REMEMBER: What tabs and options appear in the Publishing tab depends on the type of media it is (e.g., you cannot generate links for presentations), whether you own it (e.g., you can only share media you own), whether you are an instructor or teaching assistant or student (e.g., students cannot publish media to classes), and some system settings as configured by your administrator (e.g., shared media may or may not be able to be copied or downloaded).

The Analytics Tab

The Analytics tab only appears for video, audio, or interactive media. It provides viewing data for each media piece, indicating how many users have viewed it, how long they viewed it, and where the views came from. An overview of the data is provided below.

For more detailed information than is provided here, see View Analytics on the Media Details Page.

Analytics - Overview

The top section of the Analytics tab gives an overview of anonymous and identified views for the past 12 months.

Old UI
New UI

Analytics - View by Date Chart

Below the Overview is a bar chart identifying when views occurred for the selected time range. The past 30 days are shown by default, but you can select a different range from the Time Range drop-down list identified in the figure below.

The figure below shows a Media Location drop-down list that allows you to limit the data shown in the bar chart and the tables below to views from a particular location or type of location. This includes options such as All Courses or Not Course Related.

These drop-down lists work together to filter the data shown in the chart, the View by Location tables, and the Users view data described in the following sections.

Notice there is a Download Data button next to the drop-down lists. This button generates and downloads a CSV file containing the view data shown in the view-by-location tables. Like the data on the page, this download is subject to any filtering applied via both drop-down lists. The data in the file will match what is shown on the page. If there is no data for the time range and / or media location selected, this button is grayed out.

No views for the Time Range and / or Media Location: Remember that the drop-down lists filter the data shown in all or the sections below them. If you change the Time Range to Past 7 days and / or have selected a Media Location where no views occurred in that time frame, the bar chart will be empty, and there will be no tables below the chart. In addition, the data in the Download Data button will be disabled.

Analytics - View by Location Tables

The tables below the bar chart, shown in the above figure, provide viewing details for each location where the media was viewed. This includes any EchoVideo course where the item may be published and any LMS Course where this media may be embedded for viewing.

Not Course Related views are a more generalized category that includes views from a public link to the media, views from a collection where the media has been shared, and views through the media details page by other users.

Analytics - User View Data

Below the View by Location tables is a list of all users who have viewed this media.

The User views list, like the View by Date chart and View by Location tables, is subject to the Time Range and Media Location drop-down list selections. This means you can filter the list to see what users viewed the media in a certain time frame, what users viewed the media from a certain published location, or both.

The Users list can be sorted by each of the columns as needed. Click the heading of a column to sort the list by that field. First, click sorts ascending, second click sorts descending. The arrow icon indicates the direction of sort or no sort (if both arrows appear). The above figure shows the Users list sorted by User (user last name) in ascending (a-z) order. This is the initial default view.

The Activity Tab

This tab does not appear for presentations or polls. It provides creation data, targeting primarily captures done for courses, but includes the creation or upload date and publishing date(s) for the media. Video / audio media also includes entries if any user has opened the media in the EchoVideo video editor or media processing entries.
