When transcribing, or more likely making notes on a google meet recording there are a few issues. When opening the video directly from drive, nothing works. When entering the video in new window, the extension appears to work for note taking, but the notes lack screenshot. Also the link back from watching a note has erroneous format.
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/[google_video_folder_id]
, so the particular video is open without deeplink. However, after opening the video in a separate window , the browser navigates to a deeplink. This has a url patternhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/[google_video_file_id]/view
. This video URL also accepts query params such as?t=10s
for 10 seconds into the video. The rest of the report assumes this type of video URL.https://drive.google.com/file/d/[google_video_file_id]/view?usp=embed_facebook&yinotetimestamp=0
.-- The query param
yinotetimestamp=10
is not working, t=10s would have worked-- The query param
usp=embed_facebook
is pointless, and may cause concern since facebook has nothing to do with this video or it's notes. The root cause is most likely derived from google drive injecting a meta tag in the video player page with the format<meta property="og:url" content="https://drive.google.com/file/d/[google_video_file_id]/view?usp=embed_facebook">
. I haven't figured out why they do this, but it is unfortunate that this is picked up by parser.js in thepage-metadata-parser
lib.Tried both in chrome and in firefox with the same result, just that extension closing works in firefox but not chrome. I noticed this being mentioned in another bug report.
Other than this, I think this plugin could gain significant traction. For user discovery, best practice is to analyze make data out of any demo or user testing. Usertesting.com has for many years provided a stellar tool for this integrated in their service. Despite considerable research I have not found any similar feature as a stand alone product. Also, there are plenty of video SaaS tools which provide sufficient annotation capabilities but they all require access to the actual video. This is not desired from a data privacy aspect, and may not even be possible from a legal perspective in many cases. This tool is very promising for filling that gap. But being able to make annotations on videos which are hosted on a private server would be key. Also, recordings from video conf call services, may naturally end up in environments such as google drive (this is the case for google meet). Being able to make annotations without being forced to add another trusted video storage, would be great. As another side note to this comment, it would also be good to take inspiration from the usertesting.com annotation export feature: For turning feedback into data for design, it would be great to a) be able to export into a data sheet where the link would be in one column, the note in another column, and preferably note-specific tags in another column. That would be for single video export, but for multiple video export it would also be good to have another column with recording identifier; from which feedback session did a note arise. Multiple videos with various interviewees is likely,
