Account Creation
Do we have a single account for all users or individual accounts for each?
We can support both models.
- Each organization has its own account with its own user.
- Separate accounts for each organization can be created, and each account can be tagged with the company name for easier administration.
Video Recording API
Are recording and playback compatible with all browsers?
We can support both models.
- Video Recording - Supported by Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Edge.

How to change the aspect ratio?
The user can change the aspect ratio below the Advanced Settings.
Can we have the recorder embedded in the page rather than as an overlay?
Yes, you can.
Is there a video size restriction for uploads?
Hippo Video has no size restrictions by default. The video timer may be adjusted to 3 hours by default. We also do not permit the upload of videos that are less than one second long.
Is it possible to embed the Hippo recorder within our form and let users record a video via their webcam (video & audio)?
Yes, you can.
Could we time limit the recording to 20 seconds?
Yes, you can limit the duration of the recording.
Can we have default settings (webcam & audio) rather than letting the user select?
Yes, you can set up default settings.
How to control recording length?
You can mention the duration in the recording configuration while initiating the recorder to limit the video duration.
Do we need to set the recording resolution?
No. Hippo Video supports high resolution while recording.
Note: Both your connection and camera limit this.
Video Editing API
Can I slice the video?
Yes, you can. We have a Pro-Edit option, with which the user can perform slice-and-dice videos and various other advanced editing operations. If you intend to cut videos into several pieces, the Quick Edit feature on our roadmap is the ideal option.
Whenever a video is edited, is it considered a new release or part of our roadmap at that time?
We’ll create a new version for every edit.
Video Player API & Reporting API
Can all the player events be passed?
Yes. Clients can subscribe to player events like Play, Pause, and so on. They can even get notifications for the events.

Yes. Hippo Video has options to disable pushing data to the servers for storage.
How are several videos distinguished when they are on the same page, and the events are fired?
Each video will have a unique VIDEO ID. If you perform an action on the Hippo Video Player, the VIDEO ID will be sent.
What happens if the same video gets embedded multiple times and events get fired?
We won't be able to tell the difference if numerous instances of the same video are embedded on a page. If necessary, we should be able to manage instances of the same video with multiple parent element ids.
Is the player fully responsive?
Yes, the player is fully responsive.
Is the player WCAG 2.0 (508) compliant? Is Web accessibility through WCAG 2.0 (508)?
We understand 508 Compliance is shorthand for a law that requires federal government websites to be safe and accessible for people with disabilities. This law covers a range of issues related to assisting people with different kinds of disabilities. We are in compliance with this, and our player is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which is more accessible to all audiences

Video ID, ACTION, View stat like percentage watched, and Bandwidth used (size of data consumed). The relevant information must be passed if password protection/email/count restriction is to be enabled for a video.

With our RBAC feature, we can provide controlled access to the users. Admin can create relevant profiles with access to required. This can also be a part of account creation. We provide an administrative console to configure these.
