Navigation Bar Section

Overview

This is the graphical user interface element that appears at the top of the application screen. It contains links and buttons that allow users to navigate and access different sections or features of the platform.

The Navigation Bar can be customized and branded according to the specific needs and preferences of the Organization. The items displayed change depending on whether the user is logged in or not.

Navigation bar items

The navigation bar is sized dynamically, which means that depending on the size of the screen, some elements might not be displayed in the bar. If an element doesn't fit, it is available by clicking the three-bar menu in the top-left corner.

The Navigation Bar elements when a user is logged in are similar to the ones above. The difference is that instead of the Log in and Sign up buttons, the username and avatar are displayed.

Three-bar Menu

The menu contains additional navigation items when the screen size doesn't allow for all the items to fit in the navigation bar.

It also contains external links that can be added from the Video Portal.

Organization Logo

The graphical representation of a specific organization. It serves as a visual identifier for the organization, helping users recognize and associate the platform with a particular entity or company. It is uploaded by the admin from the Video Portal.

Channel Icon

The channel icon refers to the graphical representation of a specific channel within the platform. It is a visual identifier for a particular channel, helping users distinguish and associate content with a specific source.

The channel icon is displayed in a square format and it is visually distinct to differentiate one channel from another.

Note: If an organization only has 1 channel, then this section will be hidden by default.

Clicking on the arrow will open a dropdown with all channels available in the Organization.

Avatar

Displays the avatar (profile image) the user added (or the first letter of the username if no image was added).

Clicking on the avatar opens a dropdown with the following items:

• Settings: see Settings
• Activate dark mode: enables the dark theme, a user interface design option that uses predominantly dark colors, such as dark gray or black, for the background and UI elements. It provides an alternative color scheme to the traditional light interface, with the aim of reducing eye strain, conserving battery life, and creating a visually pleasing experience in low-light or dark environments.
• Exit: logout
