Administrators have access to all video and interactive media in the system. This includes users' lecture captures and uploads, as well as interactive media created from those assets. The media that an administrator has access to is listed in the Captures page of the Administrator interface.
Clicking the capture row from the Captures page opens the Media Details Page. As the name would imply, this page provides details about the media. It also provides access to all features available for the media, including publishing and sharing, closed captions and transcriptions, changing ownership, making media edits, creating a copy, downloading, or deleting.
The top section of the Media Details Page has a playback or preview panel. This allows you to play through the media. The playback bar contains playback controls, including play, fwd / back buttons, speed control, and a closed captioning toggle.
For details on the playback controls, refer to Viewing Content in the New Player.
The top right area of the Media Details Page has a playback or preview panel. This allows you to navigate through the video or page by sliding. The area immediately below the playback panel contains the creation date, media type, description, and IDs.
The media is playable in the upper right corner of the page across all Media Info tabs. The creation date, type, owner, and IDs are visible underneath the media. The vertical action menu above the media allows users to Duplicate, Archive, set Chapters (Beta), or send the media to the Trash.
The above figure shows the Details, Publishing, Analytics, and History tabs, which appear for all video / audio media that an admin can access. The contents of these are described in the sections below.
Interactive Media contains another tab, the Polling tab, for student responses to the polls embedded in the media.
Media Info
Only video, audio, or interactive media share the same media actions. Media Info consists of four sections: Details, Publishing, Analytics, and History.
The media is playable in the upper right corner of the page across all Media Info tabs. The creation date, type, owner, and IDs are visible underneath the media. The vertical action menu above the media allows users to Duplicate, Archive, set Chapters (Beta), or send the media to the Trash.

Analytics
The Analytics tab only appears for video, audio, or interactive media. It provides viewing data for each media piece, indicating the number of users who have viewed it, the duration of their viewing, and the source of the views. 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.
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 displayed by default, but you can select a different range from the Time Range dropdown list, as shown in the figure below.
The Media Location drop-down, as shown in the figure below, allows you to restrict the data displayed in the bar chart and the tables below to views originating from a specific location or type of location. This includes options such as All, All Courses, Not Course Related, or the specific LMS course.
These drop-down lists work together to filter the data shown not only in the chart but also in the View by Location tables and the Users view, as described in the following sections.
Notice the Download Data button located next to the dropdown. 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 the information displayed on the page. If there is no data for the selected time range and / or media location, this button is grayed out.
No views for the Time Range: Remember that the drop-down lists filter the data shown in all or the sections below them. If you change the Time Range 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 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, as well as views through the media details page by other users.
Analytics - All Users View Data
The All Users views list, like the View by Date chart, is subject to the Time Range dropdown selection. This means you can filter the list to view which users accessed the media within a specific time frame.
Click the heading of the Users 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). Drag and drop the column headers to rearrange the columns.
Polling
For all Interactive Media, the Polling tab displays student responses to interactive media polls. From here, you can download student responses to a CSV file.
History
This tab does not appear for presentations or polls. It provides creation data, targeting primarily captures done for courses, but also includes the creation or upload date and publishing date(s) for the media. Video / audio media also includes entries if users have opened the media in the EchoVideo video editor or processed the media files. It is searchable and can be filtered by a single date or a date range.
