Prerequisites for using the EchoVideo Student Homework Submission feature:
1) A Canvas Administrator must have configured an EchoVideo app for video homework submissions for your Canvas instance.
2) The Student Library must be enabled or you must be a member of a Collection where you have Post permissions.
If your instructor has posted an Assignment in Canvas and requested that you submit EchoVideo media as a response, use the instructions below to select and submit the media from your content library.
Submitting Echovideo media is as simple as selecting the Homework Submission tab and the media from EchoVideo that you want to use.
Once you submit media for a Canvas assignment, it is locked and cannot be edited or deleted. This applies to Collection media that might be owned by someone else and media you own. You can create a copy of the video or download it. An EchoVideo Admin can delete the video if necessary.
You may find the easiest way to add video content to EchoVideo is through the EchoVideo Mobile Apps. Specifically, the Mobile Apps allow you to Upload a video from your phone or tablet into your content library. If you are not already a Mobile Apps user, you may need to create an EchoVideo password to use with them first (Settings icon Account Settings Create Password).
The below procedure submits media you have access to as a Canvas assignment. This can be EchoVideo media you own or media that lives in a group where you have Post permissions. The EchoVideo embed media dialog box allows you to upload and submit a video as a single process through the same interface. If this feature has been enabled for students, you may even have the option to create a new recording using Universal Capture Personal.
