How to Upload to Another Platform for Reuse

If you know you will reuse your videos for academic or non-academic use, ITS recommends uploading to EchoVideo or Microsoft Stream. We DO NOT recommend uploading your media to Files tool in Canvas it will affect your course quota.

• For academic use, upload to EchoVideo or save time and turn on a OneDrive subscription for your Teams meeting recordings to automatically copy to your Library or Course.
