Admins can configure multiple branding assets in EchoVideo to create and manage player styles based on them. Once configured, instructors can select from and apply Player Styles at the Section, Folder, and individual Media level to allow more flexible branding style application.
Different branding assets can benefit an institution in several ways:
- Clear Identification: Each organization / department may have a distinct mission, culture, and focus.
- Targeted Messaging: Different departments may want to convey different messages to their audiences. For example, the engineering department might want a modern and tech-focused logo, while the history department might lean toward something that evokes tradition.
- Strengthening Department Identity: Instructors and students often identify with their specific program, so having separate, unique branding helps build a strong community within each discipline.
