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.
