Why connect EchoVideo to Canvas?
This integration allows instructors to easily deliver and manage course materials, including recorded lectures, within the familiar Canvas environment. If your course uses EchoVideo to record and share content, this process will walk you through the first-time setup required to share lecture captures with students. Additionally, it promotes active learning and facilitates content accessibility, providing course participants with a one-stop-shop to view recorded lectures or Echo-shared content.

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 have further questions on this, contact a Software Specialist.
How many times do I need to repeat this?
This process links EchoVideo and a single Canvas course and 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?
No. 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 the same courses and content you necessarily see.
I'm getting an error or the EchoVideo tab will not load
