Adding a Video to an Echo360 Course Section

Once your Moodle course has been linked to an Echo360 classroom, students will be able to view any videos that have been added to the course.  You are able to quickly add videos that are stored in your Personal Library or you can upload new video files to the system from an external source such as your computer. 


TIP: Echo360 functionality can be impacted by the use of certain web browsers.  Google Chrome is the recommended web browser for accessing Moodle and Echo360!

Option 1: Adding a library video from your Echo360 classroom

Step 6: A green play icon will appear when the video has been added to the class and is ready for viewing.
