The My Recordings module in Mango Recorder provides tools for managing and sharing recordings. User features include pinning recordings for quick access, renaming, adding hashtags for easy search, setting custom thumbnails, and adding call-to-action buttons to videos.
Bulk actions and the search feature streamline management, while new recordings inherit default privacy settings and can be directly uploaded. These capabilities ensure efficient recording organization and collaboration across the platform.
Once a user has uploaded or captured media to the module, they will have additional options available to them from the 3-dot menu located in the bottom right corner of each file.

Pin recordings for quick access through Top Right Username Dropdown > Pinned List of Items.

Share with specific people or teams or share publicly for universal access. Secure internal links (mlink) can also be generated for authorized users only.
Public and Internal Links:
Copy Public Link: Available only for recordings with public permissions.

Permissions are verified through a Just-In-Time (JIT) check.
Users can set sharing permissions for individual recordings, independent of the default permission settings for the module.

Owner: Grants full ownership rights to the specified colleague.
