View content online *recommended
The Echo360 mobile app allows you to stream recorded lectures / narrated presentations directly to your mobile device.
We strongly recommend you only view recordings on your mobile device when you have a wireless internet connection (when in online mode). This will prevent you from using large amounts of data on your device.
- From the main menu, select the relevant term (Undergrad in the screenshot).
- Select the relevant list of recordings.
You will need to view a list of recordings from the online platform / via Blackboard to then see the list appear on the app.
- 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.
As stated above, we strongly recommend you ideally only view recordings on your mobile device when you have a wireless internet connection (when in online mode). This will prevent you from using large amounts of data on your device.
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). Select to download content.

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.
