Copy Content to Another EchoVideo Course
Sometimes, the perfect kind of video is recorded and shared. It can be hard to top a great video. There may be instances where you'll need to reuse an old lecture or demonstration video in a current EchoVideo section. With the Publishing option, you can share EchoVideo content that you own with other courses, collections, and people.
- Open EchoVideo from Cardinal Apps or a Canvas course
- Select Courses and open the course where the old piece of media is stored
- Select the media button
next to the item needing to be copied, then select Details
- Open the Publishing tab, then select Classes
- Enter the Class Details
- Select Add To Class
- Within the Course dropdown, select the course to which you plan to copy the content to
- Select the active Term
- Select the Section
- Select whether to add the media to an "Existing" or a "New" class. In most cases, and for this guide, we recommend you create a "New" class. This is different than a "Course".
- Provide a Class Name: This would be something like "Lecture 1" or "TOPIC" and is separate from the name of the media.
- (Optional) Select the Date option under Unavailable if you want to set a date for the copied content to expire. Leave as Never if you don't want the content to expire.
- Select Share

Step 1: Open EchoVideo
Open the EchoVideo portal, either through Cardinal Apps or through a Canvas course.

and then select Details.
Step 4: Open Publishing Options
Under the video player, there are a plethora of options. Select the Publishing tab, then select Classes

Now, you'll need to enter the course information for where you want to copy the video. This process will be shown over the next few images and paragraphs.
Select the Add To Class button.
From the drop-down menu, choose the course you want to copy this content to. You will only see courses you're listed as an instructor for.
Select the active Term from the drop-down. This will match the semester the course is taught in (e.g., Fall 2024, Spring 2025, etc.)
Select the section, such as 001. Note: 001 is the default section for most Canvas-made courses in Echo. If you want to use another section of your course, select the appropriate option.
Click New Class. Now, give that recording a name that appears for the students when they open the course to view the video.
Enter the recording details for how you want the video to be available to the course you're copying to. The important fields are: Available and Unavailable. These settings control when the video is available to the course you're copying to, and when it's unavailable. When you're ready, select Share.
