Once you click “Copy”, it will automatically copy the link for you, and now you can paste the link wherever you like.

Step 7: Once you copy the sharing link for your video in Echo360, you can share the link on any platform (email, Canvas, etc.). Within Canvas, you have three options available to you:

- Option 1 - Linking within a module (Instructors Only):
  - Click on the plus sign next to module you will like to place the link.
  - Next to “Add”, select “External URL”.
  - Next to “URL”, paste the sharing link you got from Echo360.
  - For “Page Name”, type in the name of the video and click “Add Item”.

- Option 2 - Linking on a page (Instructors Only):
  - You will have to create a page or add your video link to an existing page in your Canvas course.
  - Once you have a page in Canvas ready for your video link, click on the page and click the “Edit” button. Put your mouse cursor in the text box and place it where you would like the link to go.
  - Click the chain icon on the toolbar:

- - Paste the video link and click “Insert Link”.
  - Once you are done, you can either click “Save and Publish”, if you are done and ready for the students to see it or “Save”, if you aren’t entirely done yet and you want to work it some more later before you publish it.

- - - Option 3 - Embedding your video on a page in your Canvas course (Instructors Only):
      - To copy the embed code from your Echo360 library, click the share icon on the tool bar under the video you want to share. Note, this is recommended if your course is public facing.
      - Once you click on the share icon, select links.
      - Once you click on the links icon, select embed.
      - Once you are in the embed menu, select copy.
      - Once you have copied this embed code, go the Canvas page in your course where you want to embed your video, and click on the embed button on the far right of the tool bar and paste your video embed code.
      - Click submit. Once you are done, you can either click “Save and Publish”, if you are done and ready for the students to see it, or “Save”, if you aren’t entirely done yet and you want to work it some more later before you publish it.
