Instructors, TAs, and students can access EchoVideo through a dedicated link in Moodle. This page explains how to access EchoVideo via this link, and provides links to instructions for adjusting your browser pop-up settings, if needed. 

Access EchoVideo through Moodle link

  1. Log in to Moodle.
  2. Navigate to your Moodle Course Page.
  3. In the main Moodle course section at the top of the page, locate the EchoVideo recordings link.
    Note: If you are an instructor and need help setting up the EchoVideo Moodle link, see Give Students Access to EchoVideo Recordings through Moodle.
  4. Click the EchoVideo recordings link. A new browser tab or window opens that shows the EchoVideo page for your course.

Allow browser pop-ups for Moodle

If you click the link in Step 4 above, you may need to configure your browser to allow pop-ups on Moodle so the EchoVideo content can load in a new window or tab. You will see something similar to the image below:

Notice that the main part of the Moodle page says, “Your activity has opened in a new window,” but there is only one browser tab. The small red "X" icon on the URL bar indicates a pop-up has been blocked. Select Always allow pop-ups from this site. This should only be necessary the first time you access EchoVideo through each course.

Alternately, you can adjust your browser settings to allow all pop-ups from the main Moodle URL rather than separately for each course page. Instructions for browser settings for are available here:
