Chapter 4 Play, Comment, Tag, and Share Videos

Procedures

Change the Video Resolution

You can change the resolution of the video while viewing it. This option is only available if your Cisco Show and Share uses a Cisco MXE to transcode the uploaded videos and your system administrator has enabled multiple resolutions.

You may want to select lower resolutions when playing videos back on slower network connections or if the playback pauses often.

The following resolutions may be available: 360p, 480p, and 720p. Depending on the resolution of the original video, and the system setting, not all resolutions may be available.

Procedure

Step 1 On the video player, click the resolution selector button. This button displays the current resolution of the video.

Step 2 Select the resolution you want to view.

Comment on Videos

You can comment on videos in two different ways:

General comments that apply to the whole video. These comments appear below the video on the video playback page. See Adding a General Comment, page 4-8.

Timeline comment that apply to a specific point in the video. These comments appear in the Timeline Comments tab below the video. Additionally, vertical bar in the video timeline indicates where timeline comments have been entered. See Adding a Timeline Comment, page 4-9.

Both types of comments count towards the total number of comments for a video.

Commenting on videos may not be available if the system administrator has turned off this feature at the system level or if the person who uploaded the video turned off the feature for the video.

If you re-publish a video with comments, you are given the option to retain the comments when the video is republished.

You can also flag comments as inappropriate. See Flag a Comment as Inappropriate, page 4-9.

Adding a General Comment

Step 1 Click in the comment box in the Commentary tab below the video. If comments have been added by other users, the comment box appears above the existing comments.

Step 2 Type your comment.

Step 3 Click Add Comment.

Your comment appears at the top of the list. If you are logged-in to Cisco Show and Share, your user name, along with the date and time the comment was entered, appears above your comment. If you are not logged in, ANONYMOUS_USER appears as the user name.
