EchoVideo: Sharing Media with other Users

For Administrators.
For Instructor / Student information, see Sharing and Unsharing Media with other EchoVideo Users.

Sharing with an individual involves making media available to another EchoVideo user by adding it to their Library. This allows them to view the video outside a classroom and, depending on the institution's feature settings, may also allow them to make a copy, download the media, or perform other tasks.

If the user you are sharing the capture with needs full control or ownership of the item, you may want to assign them as the owner instead of sharing it. If this is not appropriate, they can create their own copy of the media or download it, then re-upload the content to generate their own copy. See Changing Ownership for further details.

To share a capture with a user

1. From the Captures page, find the capture you want.
2. Click on the capture row to open the media details page.

3. Select Publishing.

   Individuals is selected by default.

4. Click Share, as shown in the figure below.

   

5. The Share To modal opens.
6. In the dropdown, enter the user's name or email address to whom you want to share this item.
7. Select the user from the list of options when it appears.

8. Click Done.

   The item is shared with them immediately.

The user(s) to whom you shared the item should now see it in the Shared with me tab of their Content home page. From there, they can view, copy, or download the item or remove it when no longer needed.

To remove a shared item from a user, click the X next to their name, as shown in the figure below. This immediately removes the share, and the item no longer appears in the user's Content library.
