The look and feel of the Player is changing! Upcoming changes are identified in this article by providing screenshots labeled "Old UI" and "New UI".
You can download media from your Library to obtain a local copy of the media for offline viewing or file manipulation outside of EchoVideo. You can always download the media you own. You may also be able to download media that has been shared with you or collection media if your collection permissions allow. See Viewing Shared Content for why you may or may not be able to. See also Downloading Content from a Class to download media you only have access to through a course.
If the purpose of downloading a media file is to then upload the file to your library so you have your own version, you should instead Create a copy of the media, if this option is available to you.
With respect to downloading presentations and interactive media, the item downloaded is the original file that was uploaded (for presentations) or the original video/audio from which the interactive media was created. This means that:
- If the file has not been altered, you will get the same presentation you see in EchoVideo.
- Any slides added to the original upload will not appear in the downloaded file.
- Any slides deleted from the original upload will appear in the downloaded file.
- Polling questions are not included in any download, either in presentations or interactive media.
- If the presentation was created entirely in EchoVideo, the Download original option is grayed out; these presentations do not have an originally uploaded file to download.
If downloading is disabled for the institution or for a particular piece of media due to settings in the system, you will see the Download option but it will be grayed out.

- The filenames include "low" or "full" to identify high or standard-definition versions.
- The filenames include "s1" for "source 1".
- If the download was of Source 2 of a dual-video capture, the filename contains "s2" instead of "s1".
