Some institutions want to provide their copyright policy information on the Legal page in EchoVideo, making it available for users to review or reference as needed. This also provides a method of dissemination of the university copyright to all EchoVideo users for your institution. After establishing your copyright policy specific to your institution and country, Alternate Copyrights can then be enabled.
Once a Copyright Policy is in place, individual pieces of media can have the copyright applied to them by administrators or content owners. When applied, Copyright indicators will then appear in the player for users and provide a link to view the full Copyright Policy. See How the Copyright Appears in the Player and Apply a Copyright to a Piece of Media for more details.
When setting up the Copyright Policy, the text box on the Legal tab for institutional administrators has a 3600-character limit. If your desired copyright is longer than this, you may prefer to enter a link to an existing published copyright and use this space to amend or append those policies, specific to the use of EchoVideo. In addition to the main institution policy, you can set alternate copyright licenses.
