Submit a video in Canvas using Echo360
This guide steps through accessing a Canvas assignment, uploading a video to your Echo360 (Lecture Capture) library, then embedding it into the assignment submission.
Upload and submit your video
- Go to Assignments in your subject navigation menu.
- Click on the relevant Assignment to open it.
- On the Assignment page, click the blue Submit Assignment button.

- The Assignment submission area will display a range of tab options. Select the Echo360 tab.

- You will be presented with a media selection dialog box. Select the Upload Existing Media tab, then click Select Media.

- Follow the options to find and select your video file to upload to your Echo360 library. When ready, click Upload.

- Your upload progress will be tracked in the upload window. Do not close the submission window until the upload is complete.

- Once the file is uploaded, you will be returned to the media selection dialog box in the Choose from My Home tab, with the newly uploaded video selected by default.
- Note: The preview may not display a thumbnail; this is because the video is still being processed by Echo360. How long this takes is partially dependent on the size of the video.

- Click Insert to submit this video for the assignment. Your uploaded video will appear here as a URL to your video.
- Note: If you wish to upload a different video instead, click the Change button located to the right of the URL and you will be returned to the media selection panel.

- When finished, click Submit Assignment.
