Allow Downloads on All Media
If downloads are globally enabled, the Video Settings page will display an Enable Downloads checkbox so that each individual video may then be enabled for download by users to a PC using the Download button on the Video Basic Information panel flyout. The Bulk Edit interface will also feature the ability to modify download enabling/disabling on videos in bulk through a Downloads dropdown. This feature is enabled by default. Only Account Admins and Media Admins are able to enable and disable downloads.
To enable downloads:1. Navigate to Admin > Media Settings > Features.
2. Select Allow download option on all media checkbox.
When downloads are globally disabled:
●There will be no Enable Downloads checkbox on any Video Settings page.
●This means that there will be no Download button on any Video Basic Information panel flyout.
●There will be no Downloads dropdown on the Bulk Edit interface.
●This also means that when users are editing video that video backups of the original may not be made first which is generally advised. You may enable this ability separately however.
●If downloads are globally disabled after they have already been previously enabled, the Download button will be removed and the video will no longer be available for download. If globally enabled again in the future, the video will once again be available for download so long as the Enable Downloads checkbox on the individual video has not been modified/deselected.
When downloads are globally enabled:
●There will be an Enable Downloads checkbox on any Video Settings page.
●There will be a Download button on the Video Basic Information panel flyout if the Enable Downloads checkbox is selected and if the user is accessing the page from a PC. This checkbox is disabled by default.
●There will be a Downloads dropdown on the Bulk Edit interface.
●When a user selects to download an enabled video, it will download from the DME that they have been directed to for watching the video.
●If there is an .mp4 file available, the user will be provided the .mp4 file.
●If no .mp4 file is available, the user is provided the first non-HLS/HDS file available.
●The user will never be able to download an HLS or HDS file.
●If the video is a Webcast recording with PowerPoint slides, only the video is provided.
