You can upload video files you have previously created from your computer to Echo360. Once your videos are uploaded and hosted in Echo360 you can create a link to them, or get the code to embed it in the page. You can use these links to add video content to activities in your LEO units, or to submit a video assignment.

Uploading using the Echo360 Media button in the text editor

If your LEO unit has a an assignment submission set up already, the easiest way to upload a video is by using the Echo360 media button in the text editor.

Follow the guide on How to submit a video assignment. You will see that there are three tabs, which allow you to:

• Choose From My Home: select a video already uploaded to Echo360.
• Create New Media: launch the Universal Capture software to make a new recording.
• Upload Existing Media: upload a video file saved on your computer.

How to log into Echo360 directly

If you do not have access to the video assignment to upload using the Echo360 Media button, you can log directly into the Echo360 site to upload and manage your video library.

1. Navigate to into Echo360.org.au in your web browser.
2. When prompted, enter your ACU email address (please use your student email address with your name, not student number) and click the Submit button.
3. When prompted by a username and password dialogue box, enter your ACU username and password and click "OK".

Once you have logged in successfully you will be taken to your Library page.

How to upload a video file

1. At the top of the page, click the Create button and choose the Upload Media option:
    
2. Click the blue document icon to choose a file on your computer, or drag and drop your file from the Finder or Explorer window into the box:
   

   Note: the vertical menu on the left side of this panel allows you to choose files from connected cloud accounts as well as locally saved files.

3. Once you have placed or chosen your file/s, press the Upload button on the bottom right hand side of the box and your files will be uploaded to your library. It may take a while to upload large files especially if you are uploading using home internet. Refresh your browser if your upload is taking a long time.
    

Once your files have been uploaded and processed, they will appear in your Echo360 library.

Note: Large files may take a while to upload and process and will not be watchable until they have finished processing. You can still embed an unprocessed video in your assignment submission if you need to, and it will be watchable once processing has completed.

You can also use the Echo360 app to upload videos directly from your phone or tablet.
