Adding an Echo360 video in Canvas (embedding vs linking)
General notes
In addition to videos, you can upload presentation files (such as PowerPoint) and pdfs to Echo

Notes specific to this workflowNotes specific to this workflow
For notes applying to all Use A workflows, see the ‘General notes’ section on the Echo360 intro page
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.
