Media Services
- Have your media uploaded into your Echo360 Media library, accessed through the Echo360 portal, https://echo360.ca. Use your email address to log in, e.g., netlinkID@uvic.ca.
- In your Echo360 Media Library, find the video you want to embed. Open it by double clicking on it. You can play the video to confirm it is the one you want. Find the share link below the video and click it to open the Share Settings pop-up window.
- Click the Links button and Add Link.
- Echo360 will create an Share Link. Click the Embed button.
- There's 3 options available to adjust: player window size, autoplay and automute. We recommend setting the player size to 320 x 249 to fit well in Cascade, keep autoplay off, and keep automute off. Copy the Embed link with the Copy button.
- In Cascade, open the web page you wish to edit. Click on the source code editor to open the source code of your page and find the place you want to insert the embed code.
- Paste in the embed code. Click Ok when you're done editing.
- Click Preview to check your page.
Publish when it's complete.
