# Set Annoto Features

Annoto enables you to seamlessly add interactive capabilities to your course videos, either at the **course level** or the **video level**. 

For example, you can set default preferences for Annoto features that will be overlaid across your course video content, and then update specific videos with different desired features. 

Alternatively, you can disable Annoto at the course level and enable it for specific videos.

## Set Annoto Features at the Course Level

To set up Annoto features in a course, you can activate interactive capabilities across all your course videos through the [Preferences](https://docs.annoto.net/guides/annoto-platform/introduction/preferences) section on the Annoto Dashboard. 

Here's a brief guide:

1. **Access the Annoto Dashboard**: Navigate to the Annoto Dashboard from your course platform.
2. Go to Kaltura's **Media Gallery** 
3. Go to the **Channel Actions** menu
4. Click on **Annoto Dashboard**
