UserWay Widget in EchoVideo

UserWay is an accessibility tool within EchoVideo that appears as an icon positioned on the right side of the screen. When activated, this widget expands to reveal a comprehensive menu of accessibility tools and customization options, allowing users to personalize their browsing experience. To access these features, users can click the UserWay icon on the screen. The widget remembers the most recent preferences, so users only need to set up their customizations once; the settings will automatically apply each time they use EchoVideo.
