In this article, you will see the different ways lectures can be recorded inside a classroom (view what equipment is installed in each classroom), in our recording studio, (Lightboard or Surface Studio), or outside of the classroom (on your computer). If you have recorded lectures in another system, you can upload them to Echo360.
IMPORTANT: Do not check grades, email, or anything confidential. All content is recorded and will be available to students. If you need to trim or cut sensitive information, you can use Echo360's online media editor.
