Timeline

The transition from Echo360 to Kaltura will move through the following phases:

Preparation phase (February 1-May 10, 2017): During this period, Echo360 was fully supported and was available for lecture capture and personal capture.
Read-only phase (May 11-December 31, 2017): In Echo360's read-only phase, you can access and download previously created recordings and content, but will be unable to create new lecture capture or personal capture recordings.
Echo360 fully retired (January 1, 2018): Echo360 will no longer be available, and you will be unable to log in or retrieve your content.

Suggested actions

If you use Echo360, you should take steps to preserve any lecture capture or personal capture recordings you wish to keep. If you previously used Echo360's Personal Capture software, UITS encourages you to move to Kaltura's CaptureSpace application.
