This feature is available to all admins with a Team Plan.

Note: At least one destination must be enabled or your team members will not be able to publish their content.

Enable or Disable Publishing Endpoints

1. Log into our website, click your user icon, and then click Settings.

2. On the left sidebar, click Team Feature Access and then click the pencil icon under Feature Access Default settings or for one of your Customer Access Pages.  



3. Clear the checkbox next to the endpoints that you want to disable.  
Disabling an endpoint means those publishing options will no longer be displayed in the lower right menu within the desktop application when previewing a recording.


4. Click Save.

Verify the applicable endpoints are enabled or disabled

You can verify the endpoints are disabled by doing the following:

  1. Go to your team access page or login as a Team Member and launch the recorder or open the video editor.
  2. Either create a new recording or click an existing recording from the Project Manager screen. You will enter a preview mode for the recording.
  3. On the lower right, you will see a menu with options for uploading or downloading the file.  If you don't see these options initially, you can click the Screen_Shot_2018-12-20_at_10.43.32_PM.png icon to bring up the complete list of publishing options. 
  4. Verify that your selected endpoints are enabled or disabled in this publishing menu.  The menu may look similar to the menu below:

Screen_Shot_2018-12-20_at_10.43.46_PM.png

Only the options with the checkbox next to them selected in your settings should be displayed in the desktop application's publishing options.  All others will be disabled and hidden from the menu above. At least one destination must be enabled, or your team members will not be able to publish their content.
