The steps below cover one of five main staff workflows for using Echo360 via Canvas, ie adding an existing Echo video to Canvas via Canvas’ text editor
...
You can link in Canvas to a video that’s either in your personal Echo360 library or in an Echo360 collection
You can’t upload a video directly into an Echo360 collection.
If you want to link from Canvas to a video in an Echo360 collection, you must first upload the video to your personal Echo360 library, add this video to the collection, then link to the video from the collection.
For this reason, you can’t upload a video and link to it at the same time from anywhere else in Echo360 apart from your Echo360 personal library.

You should then be shown a pop-up and be in the Library tab in this pop-up. If you’re not in the Library tab, click to select this tab.
In the Library tab, you may see the video you want to link to appear straight away. If not, you can search for it
Searching only works if you start typing from the beginning of the title. Echo won't find your video if you start with the middle or end of the title.
