I just spent some time trying to find a way to view results to the poll I posted alongside my Vialogue. The results were buried under the manage screen, while I was expecting the poll results to be accessible somewhere near the poll itself. There should be a way to enable the moderator to view the results, and for the moderator to allow (or deny) the participants to view the results as well.

I was trying to upload a sound recording to start a dialogue. Then I realized that the format for uploading is limited to video.

Why is there so much white space at the bottom of an embedded vialogue? At the top there is hardly any, but at the bottom there is a lot.

i think this sentence is grammatically incorrect.

Here is an alternative:

Discussion has been disabled for this vialogue. Start a new one at vialogues.com

Close Vialogue makes me think i am leaving the page. If you are closing the vialogue to additional comments, why not "Disable Comments" or "Turn off Comments"

On the logged in homepage, videos which are being processed should probably not show up in Recent Vialogues until they are available for view. If theres a reason behind why you are currently showing them, then probably giving a little more information to the user might help ; For e.g. This video is currently being processed but would be available to view under 5 minutes. (And then the page should refresh using ajax) to show that the new vialogue is ready)

When different people comment on a vialogue you've created/managed (i'm not sure which), you receive a separate email notification for each person who comments. Is there any way to combine all those email notifications into one "conversation," so that your box isn't filled by a lot of notifications for the same vialogue?

I uploaded videos but unchecked "Let others create Vialogues for this video" while I was uploading, thinking this would keep the video private from being searched. But now that I would like to open up the video. How do I do that?

Pranav asked that I submit an example of how the aspect ratio for a video that we upload is squished when a still is made.

For youtube videos, there are no constrained proportions but for our videos, which are shot and edited in 16:9, they are squashed when converted to a 4:3 still. So, essentially every video that we upload is represented by the wrong aspect ratio in the still.

Thanks!

Pushing the Help button on the Create New Vialogues page doesn't do anything.

This is currently listed in a small font size in blue towards the bottom of the page once you have created a vialogue.

I would like to be able to track who has viewed the videos and who has not.

Currently, we are using usernames for identifying people in a discussion. These usernames are uninformative since people create usernames out of old school messenger ids. It also makes the discussion look unprofessional. I think that we should use Full Name (First Name, Last Name) to be displayed in the discussion, instead of the username.

The save button is quite small for saving changes to the participants and/or moderators. A reminder should pop up, asking "Would you like to save changes to the Vialogue?" when navigating away from the page.

@Vialogues Great tool. Suggestions - Make it clear that YouTube is CC solution for now. Allow us to export transcript and question data :)

It would be great for instructors to be able to download transcripts of vialogue discussions!

In the right-hand column of videos there is an option to click on the vialogues and the "create new" but not the video title? This is a bit confusing? Perhaps make all three clickable?

there should be an expand all button to show all the replies to all the comments so that one doesn't need to click more>> for each comment. example - https://vialogues.com/vialogues/play/615

I am interested in browsing through all the comments a user made on any video.

Lets create user "channels" that people can either follow or view. This will allow people to gain a "following" and become "experts" on the site.

Can we add PBS press etc. (once it is final to the main page?) or "these users (show avatars) are Vialoguing" somewhere on the main page? This could generate excitement & energy!
