Upcoming Deployment Schedule
In order to accommodate the US Labor Day holiday, EchoVideo will be skipping the deployment that would otherwise occur in the first full week of September, per our normal two-week deployment schedule.
Therefore, the next few deployments will occur as follows:
- July 27-28, 2021 (this one)
- August 10-11, 2021
- August 24-25, 2021
- September 21-22, 2021 (4 weeks after previous)
Enhancements
Updated EchoVideo Icon for Moodle, and Blackboard LTI Tools - EchoVideo has an updated EchoVideo Icon image for use with your LMS/VLE tool configurations. The URL to the icon is (replacing the base URL with your regional URL - echo360.net.au, echo360.org.uk, echo360.ca):
https://echo360.ca/assets/images/echo360_play_icon.png
The new icon scales well, so resizing within the LMS/VLE interface will display a cleaner, more proportional image. Replace the image you currently have/link to with the new one when possible.
For instructions on adding the icon to Blackboard tools:
For instructions on adding the icon to Moodle tools:
- Adding EchoVideo to Moodle as an External LTI Tool

Device Software Update: 6.0.727399231
Fixes
- Addressed an issue surrounding users with duplicate email addresses entering EchoVideo from their LMS/VLE. This was resolved as a hotfix.
- Resolved an issue surrounding a few institutions being unable to connect to live streams. This was resolved as a hotfix.
- Resolved an issue where users who entered EchoVideo through their LMS/VLE could not properly launch a Universal Capture - desktop capture using the Create button in the main menu bar. This was resolved as a hotfix.
- If paging through the Student Responses table in the Polling tab for either a section or the
media details page for interactive media, filtering the responses now returns to a populated
page if the currently viewed page at the time of filtering was beyond the listable results. - Addressed issues clarifying the confirmation messages users receive when either deleting media or removing shared media from their library.
- Resolved interface issues surrounding the media selection dialog box for Groups.
- Resolved an issue where users attempting to download the attachment on a discussion response would instead get the attachment on the original question/post if there was one.
- EchoVideo no longer allows browsers to auto-fill device passwords with browser-stored passwords when administrators access the Room configuration modal.
- Removed the “return/back arrow” from the video media editor, in favor of the browser’s back button, to return users consistently to the page they opened the editor from.
