Don't see the 'EchoVideo' option?

Open your course settings and click on the 'Navigation' tab. Find EchoVideo on the bottom set of tiles, then, drag-and-drop the EchoVideo tile to the upper area to place it in your navigation menu. Save your settings when you're finished.

Select the Term box to see the available terms.
- The "Anytime" term should only be used for non-traditional Canvas courses such as support courses and sandboxes.
- Term options will change over time but will reflect upcoming terms/semesters.
To finish, select the Create Echo360 Section.

Done. Both you and your course participants will be able to access class recordings, and any content shared via the 'EchoVideo' menu in Canvas.

Connect EchoVideo to Canvas FAQ

I cannot find EchoVideo in my course navigation menu or through my course settings.

EchoVideo is only available to the Health Profession Schools (HPS) and will not show up in Canvas courses outside these sites. If you are a part of this population and still don't see the option, check the Navigation menu within the course settings to enable the menu option.

Do I need to repeat this connection process?

This process links EchoVideo and a single Canvas course. Therefore, this must be done for each course you plan to use EchoVideo with.

Will students be able to see what I see in this EchoVideo menu?

Sort of. When a student opens the EchoVideo menu from Canvas, they will see their library content and course videos from a student's perspective. This means they will not be able to edit the content shown on the class video list, or see course settings.

I'm getting an error or the EchoVideo tab will not load.
