View content online
The Echo360 mobile app allows you to stream recorded lectures / narrated presentations directly to your mobile device.
For the best experience, we recommend watching recordings on your mobile device only when you’re connected to Wi‑Fi. This helps you avoid using up a lot of your mobile data. Plus, the connection is likely to be faster and more reliable!
- From the main menu, select the relevant term (Undergrad in the screenshot).
- Select the course you’d like to view the recording for.
To see your recordings in the app for your modules/blocks, you’ll need to open Blackboard and view the Echo course there first.
- Click on the green Play icon for the relevant recording. This will stream the recording directly to your mobile device.
- You can pause, rewind and fast-forward content from the recording tool bar, as well as alter the speed and quality from the settings cog.
View content offline
Mobile apps are designed to be used “on the go” but internet connectivity isn’t always guaranteed. The Echo360 mobile app allows you to download recordings (when you have an internet connection) and view them later without the need for a connection.
Only recordings you have downloaded are available for offline viewing.
Download a recording to view offline
- Select the relevant recording list.
- Find the recording you wish to view offline and click on the menu icon (three dots).
- From the menu that appears, click Download Video.
- Once downloaded, the recording is shown with an available offline icon and text.
Repeat the download steps for all recordings you want to have available for offline viewing.- Open the main menu of the app (menu icon located in the top left corner).
- At the bottom of the menu, select Go Offline.
- Select the downloaded recording you wish to view.
