We suggest you follow the following configuration steps:
- check the default Roles provided by Vidaoo and, if they don't meet your needs, create new custom Roles
- create the Vidaoo Users and define, for each of them, the Role corresponding to the functions they have in the organization
Roles
In this section you will find all the existing Roles, both the predefined ones and those created by you, for your Account:
Each Role is a set of permissions that will be applied to Vidaoo Users who are part of it (remember that it is mandatory to choose a role when adding a user to the system).
Here you can create new Roles, view and change custom Roles, and so on.
You can use the command bar on the up right side in order to:
- Create: create a new role
- Edit: edit and eventually update the role selected from the list (this action is not allowed on default roles)
- Delete: permanently delete the role selected from the list (this action is not allowed on default roles)
- Refresh: refresh the table rows view
- Filter: hide/show filters
- export the current table rows in a csv file Export:
Filter View
Use the fields at the top of the columns to filter the list of items showing only those that meet certain conditions:
When a filter is applied the funnel icon is displayed near the column name:
Remember to delete the filter when you don't need it anymore.
Default Roles
Before creating new custom Roles, have a look to the already existing Roles you find in Vidaoo (they are tagged with in the column Default).
Default Roles cannot be deleted or modified, but new and flexible roles can be easily created in order to customize the list of permissions that you want to grant to Vidaoo users.
Here you find the list of the Permissions allowed to each existing default Role (you can inspect them by selecting a Role line and then click on Edit):
Developer
Account
Agent
Kiosk
Each authorization refers to the context in which it is applied (for example: Join, Meeting, Buttons, Automations, etc.) and to the specific action granted (for example: Create, Close, Remove, Update, etc.) when a User who is part of this Role is operating in it. See the info box Permission List below for additional information.
Custom Roles
Since the default Roles are not editable, you may find it useful to create a few that best suit your organization.
Let's use the command (on the up right side of the Role panel) Create to define a new Role:
- Choose a Name for the role
- Select (among those available in the list) the Permissions to be assigned to the Role (click one by one on all those chosen)
At the end, click on Save and your Role will be created
Custom Roles will be tagged with in the Column Default.

Now your token is ready to be used for integration purposes.
Vidaoo was born from the idea of self-provisioning. Vidaoo allows the user, in complete autonomy, to modify the plan (e.g. the number of concurrent sessions, even for short periods).
- Once you have chosen one of the standard plans, simply click "continue" to be directed to the customer portal section and proceed with the subscription. Finally, it is possible to interrupt the active subscription in total autonomy.
Payment is made recurring and automatically and in the event of non-payment, the license is deactivated (impossibility of use) until the payment is renewed.
N.B. At the time of registration, the user has the opportunity to try the Vidaoo solution for 30 days for free (one concurrent video session) and, at the same time, he can choose to subscribe to a plan.
- After making the payment, you can change your plan. Click on «manage» button to update or cancel your subscription .
In case of an upgrade, you will be offered which plan you would like to upgrade to:
- Billing information is also shown in the Profile Page:
- Your current plan will be shown on your "Plans" section, complete with the renewal information (date and payment method)
Tickets
The Tickets environment allows you to create and monitor your trouble tickets on Vidaoo:
On the right top side of the window you find the available commands:
Click on:
- reate a new ticket
- to refresh the list
- to export the list contents in a csv file.
When you Create a new ticket, you will be prompted to enter the reported problems in a form (the more accurate is the description, the better!):
At the end Save it and now you'll see your ticket is added in the tickets list:
and you will receive an email from the Vidaoo TT system that will inform you about this:
and from now on, any changes will take place in the status of your ticket, you will receive an email.
The initial Status is To Do, but as soon as the ticket is processed the Status changes (remember to Refresh the list view):
The Ticket Status progression is:
- To Do

- Done (final)
Click on the funnel icon on the Status filter in order to display only a subset of tickets:
