Share Echo360 content

This guide explains how to make your Echo360 recordings, whether Lecture Capture or Universal Capture (Personal), available to students.

Once your Lecture Capture recording is finished, it is stored on the Echo360 server under the module or course it relates to. Universal Capture recordings you make on your own computer are also published to the Echo360 server either under the associated module/space or in your private Library.

There are several methods to share Echo360 content and your choice should depend on what the recordings relate to and where you want to share them.

Sharing Echo360 recordings via Moodle (for modules and ad hoc spaces)

You will need to have an Instructor user role for the section (module/space) in Echo360 in order to link to the recordings. If you requested the recordings, then you should be an Instructor. If you are unsure, please email lecturecapture@warwick.ac.uk.

Echo360 Lecture Capture and Universal Capture recordings made for specific modules can be shared to Moodle in three ways:

All methods require the recordings to have been made for a module or an ad hoc Moodle space with an associated Echo360 section i.e. not in your personal library.

The Lecture Capture (Echo360) block

Your Moodle space may already have the Lecture Capture (Echo360) block on the right-hand side and this will link to the module’s recordings if automated lecture capture has been set up.

If you have made Universal Capture recordings for an ad hoc Moodle space, you must have a corresponding 'section' in Echo and have published the recording to it. Email lecturecapture@warwick.ac.uk to request a section in Echo360 for your space.

If you do not have the Lecture Capture block in your space:

  1. Enable Edit mode in the Moodle space.
  2. Open the block drawer on the right-hand side, if it is not already open, by clicking on the < blue tab.
  3. Click Add a block at the top of the block drawer.
  4. Choose Lecture Capture (Echo360) from the list.
    NB. If you do not see it in the list, it is because the block has already been added.
  5. The block will appear on the right-hand side of your Moodle space.
  6. Click on the logo of the Lecture Capture (Echo360) block to check that it links to your module or ad hoc space in Echo360 and displays the correct recordings. If the correct module isn't already selected, choose the Section (module/space) from the drop-down list in Step 2.
  7. Ensure Section Home is selected in Step 3.
  8. Click the Connect button.

Echo360 Media Activity

Use this to add a link to individual recordings from your Library or a whole module to your space as an activity/resource link

  1. Enable Edit mode in the Moodle space.
  2. Click on Add an activity or resource in the section in which you want to add the link.
  3. Click on the Echo360 Media activity type from the resources list
  4. In the Activity name field, enter the name of the link you want to create e.g. Recording of Lecture 3 - 01/02/2020.
  5. To link to a recording from your personal Library or to upload new media:
    1. click the Select content button.
    2. Click on the video that you want to link to, or create/upload new media.
  6. To ensure that a column for this Echo360 media item is not added to the gradebook, open the Privacy section and untick the Accept grades from the tool option.
  7. To link to all of a module's recordings:
    1. click the Save and display button.
    2. In Step 2, choose the Section (module) from the dropdown list to which you want the recording(s) to link if the correct module isn't already selected.
    3. In Step 3, choose either:
      • Section home to link to all module recordings, or
      • A Lesson to link to an individual recording.
  8. Click the Connect button.

Easy embed button

You can find instructions on how to embed an existing Echo360 video on the Echo360 support website.


Sharing recordings outside of Moodle

Any video content in Echo360 can also be shared via URL or embedded on other websites and platforms such as Sitebuilder, social media or email. These links can be completely public i.e. accessible to anyone with the link, or private and accessible only to other Warwick users by requiring them to log in to Echo360.

Warwick users will need to access an Echo360 block via Moodle or have a separate Echo360 login in order to be able to access private videos.

Share an individual recording

  1. Access Echo360 by clicking on an existing Lecture Capture block in a Moodle space or, if you have an Echo360 account, log in to https://echo360.org.uk. Remember that your Echo360 password is not linked to your University password.
  2. Follow the instructions on Generating Links to Videos from the Content Home PageLink opens in a new window.
  3. Add the URL or embed code to the desired website.

Share a section/course using a public link

This is especially useful for conferences and workshops where not all attendees are Warwick staff and students, or where the recordings are aimed at staff who do not normally access Moodle.
This is the only way to share scheduled live events where people do not have access to Moodle.
  1. Access Echo360 by clicking on an existing Lecture Capture block in a Moodle space or, if you have an Echo360 account, log in to https://echo360.org.ukLink opens in a new window. Remember that your Echo360 password is not linked to your University password.
  2. Follow the instructions in Echo360's guide, Generating a Web Link and Embed Code for MediaLink opens in a new window
  3. Add the URL or embed code to the desired website or share via email.
