The EchoVideo player includes a global toggle for the Lock Overlay feature. This setting allows institutional administrators to define the default behavior of the Lock Overlay across their institution. While the toggle sets a system-wide default, individual users can still adjust the setting for their own media, ensuring institutions maintain consistent playback experiences while allowing flexibility for instructors and creators.
To lock the overlay
- Log into EchoVideo as an administrator.
- Click the Settings icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
From the Settings menu, select Institution Settings.
General settings appears and Basic Info is selected by default.
- Select Features.
- Scroll down and under Player Options, turn on the Lock Overlays toggle switch (it is off by default).
- Click Confirm on the confirmation message that appears.
