In D2L / Brightspace, EchoVideo supports the lockdown of student-created media used within an assignment submission, preventing students from editing or deleting the content after it has been submitted. This requires the creation of a new LTI 1.1 placement specifically for that purpose and is not intended for general use by instructors.
