Universal Capture Toggles

Administrators can also turn on or off downloads of Universal Capture: Personal for Students. This option is located in Institution Settings > Roles and Permissions > Students toggle list, as a sub-toggle to the Student library option. Because Students uploading UC: Personal captures to EchoVideo require access to their Library / Content Home, the ability for students to download the installers also requires the Student Library option to be turned on. For more information, see Turning the Student Content Library Page On or Off.

Toggle	Description
TLS Version Restriction on capture devices	Enforces Transport Layer Security (TLS), a security protocol your capture devices use when connecting to the server. (use only TLS 1.2 and above). When turned on, it forces devices to use TLS 1.2 or higher. It is turned off by default.
Simplified Sign In	Allows users to log in to Universal Capture within the desktop application itself (rather than an external browser) to simplify the login process. It is turned off by default Simplified Sign In is not the recommended setting (especially if using SSO), it merely provides a simpler login workflow for users. Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF) recommended practice is to use an external browser so the application code is not exposed to the user’s credentials. Using the default browser-based workflow also allows for the use of password managers and may not require users to log in at all if they are already authenticated against an SSO within the browser.
Universal Capture: Online	Provides access to the Online interface, allowing administrators to remotely monitor and control managed UC devices from the room card, and—if an administrator has granted access—allowing instructors to use a URL for the same purpose. If the Ad Hoc Capture Button for Instructors is also turned on, the confirmation message generated when creating an ad hoc capture will include a Check Capture button, which will launch the UC: Online UI. It is on by default.
Instructor Cancel Button	Provides a Cancel button, allowing the instructor to cancel a scheduled capture, provided they are the identified instructor for the capture schedule. It is off by default.
