Configure restriction levels for agents

If you need to segment the access for each agent, try our new feature - Access Control Management.

Besides, with access management, you will be able to set what access level gets new agents and change the current restrictions for them individually. To get started, click the Access Control Management icon on the app's sidebar and set the required permissions.

Video Preview Customization - the Play Button

On the Video Page Settings, you will find a newly added tab called Video Preview. Thanks to it, you have more customization options, and now it regards the play button on the video preview. So, here you can:

1. Change the circle size of the play button. Thus, drag the Circle size slider to the right or left to scale this up/down.
2. Type circle color using Hex color codes.
3. Set the fill color for the triangle.

Besides, you can leave the default setting if needed.

The Share option Extended

Now, the Video Reply app provides a wide range of sharing options. Besides, you can also use filters to find necessary videos on the Video Library page or change the view mode for convenient work. So, if you want to share a single video or bulk videos with your agents, go to the Video Library page, select the view mode (if needed), and checkmark the videos you will share. Besides, the app shows the Select all button after you put your first checkmark. So, click it if you should select all items to share.

The Video Page Settings Improved

Branding is indeed an essential part of every business. Therefore, we added more customization elements for the Video page Settings to expand branding options. Except for standard settings like page and text color configurations and providing necessary company information, you can set your brand logo.

Besides, easily create custom fields using values and add links to make the Video Page more informative. Just go to the Custom fields tab and extra text or insert a link.

Share Videos Over All Agents

Did you face a situation when you recorded a video with the help of Video Reply, and your colleague needed to film almost the same tutorial for a customer? In this case, agents spend time creating the same content, which could be invested in supporting other customers.

Then, a Share feature will definitely come in handy. For example, before you start recording a video from a ticket, you can set the Share option via clicking on the Private button that turns on the Shared button.

Then, this video will be marked (tagged) with a blue icon, and other agents will be able to use it at work.

Besides, share a video directly from the Video Library via clicking on the toggle Share the video with other agents under it.
