Please consult our instructions for capture and streaming using ECHO 360 to make these resources available in your Canvas course site.
Before you begin, we recommend you check with the Student Success Librarian or your Subject Specialist Liaison Librarian to determine if there is a streaming version of the media you would like to use on a platform that can be licensed by the library.
