I would like to record my classes using an Echo360 automated recording system in an equipped classroom.

I just need a section to be created to use polling features or share pre-recorded videos with my students (e.g., Zoom recordings).

Room

If you are teaching in a classroom that is not listed, then your room does not have a fully integrated lecture capture system. Lecture Capture can be achieved using Zoom software to record using the room’s installed camera and microphone. An integration between Zoom and Echo360 exists to automatically publish your recordings to an Echo360 section, making it easy to automatically share the recordings with students.

If you would like to use Zoom to record your sessions and set the recordings to automatically publish to an Echo360 section, please select “I just need a section to be created for use with polling or publishing external videos.”

Documentation on how to map Zoom recordings to automatically publish to an Echo360 section can be found here: https://support.echo360.com/hc/en-us/articles/11077150871949-EchoVideo-Mapping-Zoom-Meeting-Recordings-to-EchoVideo-Sections

For more information on options for lecture capture in unlisted classrooms, please contact MTS by emailing mts@brandeis.edu

Options:

I would like to use the Echo360 Classroom Capture software to record my classes automatically. I understand that I must use the installed PC in the classroom in order for the projected content to be captured.

I prefer to use my own laptop and will use Echo360's Personal Capture Software, Zoom, or other software for recording my class manually.

I'd like to discuss the options further with MTS.

Please include any questions about capture solutions for classrooms that do not have fully integrated lecture capture systems.
