- Initial State: When the video starts – will Annoto be open or closed
- Discussion Scope: Will discussions on a video be per course (Private per course) or will anyone in the site be able to be a part of the conversation (Site Wide).
- Features: When adding the Annoto widget to the Course Unit you can set the widget features. There are four options in the dropdown menu:
- 1.Comments & Notes (Default).
- 2.Comments – Enable only the Shared comments feature.
- 3.Private Notes – Enable only the personal notebook feature.
