Notes specific to this workflow
When you are searching for videos to add to a collection on the ‘My Echo360 Library’ screen, collections can be seen in both the Library and Collections tabs but individual videos can only be seen in the Library tab.
You can add videos to a collection either by selecting videos already in your Echo library, or by uploading videos directly into an Echo collection. (If using the latter option, the videos are also added to your library.)
This workflow will show you how to add videos to your collection using both these methods [-> NEED TO ADD IN STEPS TO UPLOAD DIRECTLY INTO A COLLECTION]
[230124 to add videos directly to a collection, go in to the collection then select +Add Media, then select the Upload new media tab]
WORKFLOW
1. Go to the Canvas course you want to upload the video to
2. Navigate to a screen in this course that offers the text editor. In this example, a Page is used.
3. On the Page, click on the 'Edit' button to display the text editor
4. Place the cursor at the point in the editor where you want the video to be added
5. In the editor's toolbar, click on the blue Echo360 icon
If you don't see this icon, click on down arrow to the right of the plug icon, then select the 'View All' option. In the popup that then appears, click on the 'Echo360' video link
(If you don't see the Echo360 icon, click on the plug icon, click on the plug icon and select View All. Then click on the 'Echo360' link)
6. In the pop-up that then appears, click on the 'Upload Existing Media' tab
7. Click on 'Upload Media From Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, OneDrive For Business, Or Box.'
8. On the next screen of the pop-up, you need to select where you will be uploading your content from. To upload directly from your device or computer, click on 'Select Video Files to Upload'
9. (If you will be uploading from a cloud location like Box, Dropbox or OneDrive, click on the hamburger menu at the top left of the pop-up then click on the desired location)
10. Select the video file to be uploaded
[You should be able to upload more than one file at this point by selecting them.]
11. Once selected, you are presented with a selection summary screen
12. If the selection is correct, click on the 'Upload' button
13. Once your upload is complete, click on the 'Close' button
14. You should now be shown the 'Library' tab in the pop-up, and your new upload should show at the top of the list of videos in this tab
If your new video doesn't show you can search for it using the Search box. 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.
If you can see the video listed under the 'Library' tab in the pop-up, then it's been successfully saved in your personal Echo library...
15. You can now cancel out of the editing screens as they are no longer required:
- Click the x at the top right of the pop-up to close it, and click the OK button to confirm you would like to lose the changes made, then
- Click the ‘Cancel’ button at the bottom right of the text editor, and click the OK button again to confirm you would like to lose the changes made.
You can see and manage the videos in your personal Echo360 library by viewing the ‘Library' tab in the 'My Echo360 Library’ screen in your Canvas course:
