How do I view feedback in the Soomo video recorder?

How to view and reply to comments on your speech assignments

Written by Alyssa

Overview

With peer review activities in the Soomo video recorder, you can easily access and review feedback from your classmates and instructors on your speech assignments.

Depending on the assignment, feedback may include comments, markers, or rubrics. Feedback includes a timestamp, so you can see exactly which moment in your speech your classmate or instructor is referring to.

View feedback

To get started, select Learn from Feedback in the Activity Tasks list.

When you’ve received feedback in the Soomo video recorder, you will see a speech bubble icon on your speech showing how many markers or comments are ready for your review.

Note: When you’re finished reviewing, the Learn from Feedback task will only be checked off if your instructor left feedback. If you only review feedback from classmates, the circle will remain unchecked, but this will not affect your grade.

To view your feedback, select your video. You’ll see all of the peer feedback you’ve received in the panel on the right, as well as any feedback you’ve left for yourself.

As you watch your video, comments will appear below it at the time they were left. You can also click on a particular comment or marker to be taken to the exact place in the video where the comment was made.

If someone has left you audio or video feedback, click the Play button in the comment panel to listen to or watch it.
