Instructors: How to use your Echo360 account

A CSU Echo360 account is automatically created for all CSU faculty and staff the morning after their NetID is activated.

(Students normally access Echo360 through Canvas, which automatically creates an Echo360 account for them on the first access.)

Use your CSU Echo360 account to view your courses, sections, schedules and videos, upload videos and presentations to your library, add content to sections, edit videos, create links and embedded videos, make content available to students, and view analytics.

Applicable to

CSU Fort Collins, CSU Online, CSU Spur
faculty/instructors, staff
