The Video Platform provides Administrators the ability to extensively customize their own Organization's instances. Within the Admin Panel's Platform panel, Administrators will be able to customize which emails to send out, security settings for content, which features users can access, etc.
Setup Preferences
Setup Preferences allows Administrators to configure the Video Platform's Available Suites, Start Page Options, Role Names, and Email Options.
Setting Available Suites
-
By default, the Administrators will have access to all of the available features within the Video Platform. By setting the Available Suites, Administrators will be able to limit which features are available to other users depending on their roles. You can also assign groups to available suites, which will override your default suite settings based on roles. To learn more, please visit our guide on How to Enable Suites for Groups.
- Capture & Live Stream: Select which capture workflows to enable such as Software Capture, Browser Capture, or Proctoring. If any instructors are using Exam Proctoring in a course, enabling Prioritize Proctoring will ensure students attending the course are set up to create Proctored Exam recordings by default.
- Video Conference: Access to individual users can also be granted here if needed. If a user is added individually, it will override their default access role.
- Media Library: Provide custom labels for the default channel names and select whether to show or hide Internal Library folders.
- EnterpriseTube: Customize the EnterpriseTube Name, Logo Link, and the tabs available to users.
Users can also make other suites such as Quizzes, Video Conference, Usages & Analytics to be accessible to users.
