This workflow covers the steps required for a user to upload an existing video to their personal library in Echo360.

Uploading an Echo360 video via Canvas
General notes
In addition to videos, you can upload presentation files (such as PowerPoint) and pdfs to Echo
Whenever you upload content to Echo, it’s added to your personal Echo library:
You can view and manage your Echo library from within Canvas.
Zoom recordings and classroom captures organized by the AV department should also appear in your Echo library.
There are three places you can link to Echo videos from within a Canvas course page:
the text editor
the Modules screen, and
the course’s blue navigation menu.
Of these, linking via the the text editor is recommended. Using the Modules screen or navigation menu is not preferred because both require using Echo's old section and class system, which is likely to be phased out.

Notes specific to this workflow
