Echo360 Lecture Recordings

What is Echo360?

Echo360 is the lecture capture program used in most of the rooms we manage. 

We offer two types of recording options:

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I do anything on the recording day?

You do not need to do anything. Based on the capture option you chose, the system will record the event automatically from the time you booked for the event through to the end. If you require technician assistance during start up, you can request it (additional fees will apply as noted in our rates). Recording is done automatically in four-hour blocks. Last minute changes to the recording time are not possible. So, please plan ahead for coffee or lunch breaks and follow the schedule.

When can I see my recording?

Special event and lecture recordings are made available to you via a link to the file on our servers, usually within 24 business hours

Can I request a recording of a single event?

Can I edit the content of the recording?

Microsoft OneDrive and Echo360 Integration

Echo360 and MS OneDrive have now been integrated to allow you to "subscribe" to any of your OneDrive folders and SharePoint Sites. These subscriptions tell Echo360 to copy any audio or video media added to those folders into your Echo360 Library. This includes Teams meetings.
