Some EchoVideo features can be turned on or off at the Institution level. When off, the features that users typically see and that are described in the Online Help are unavailable.
Institution-level feature toggles are accessed by clicking the Settings icon - it looks like a gear and is located to the right of your name at the top of the EchoVideo page. Then select Institution Settings. General settings appears and Basic Info is selected by default.
The feature toggle switches are separated into four tabs:
- The Features tab lists all the settings, categorized by type, that affect the entire institution.
- The Section Features tab lists the settings that affect things like downloads and Q&A at multiple levels, down to the Section level (configurable by an Instructor) if Allow overrides is checked.
- Most Section Feature toggles are configurable at the Organization or Department level. Select the Org or Dept from the list on the left to configure features for that hierarchy level.
- The features in the Feature Spotlight tab are significant enough to impact workflows or integrations, so instead of rolling them out directly as General Availability (GA), we allow you to opt in and experience them before the official cutover.
- The Beta Features tab lists all settings available to test and preview before the Public Rollout Date.
All features described in the topics linked below are available to be turned on or off at the institution level. Some are also available at lower hierarchical levels, including organization, department, and section. Understand that turning on or turning off a feature at a higher level also sets the default for that feature at the lower levels; use the Allow override checkbox to determine if the setting can be changed at a lower level.
