Log In to Echo360 with Your NetID & Password

Lecture Capture

/

UMass Amherst instructors with Echo360 accounts can now use their UMass Amherst NetID and password to log in to the Echo360 server and Personal Capture software. This blog post describes these changes and provides information on how to use the new login process.

 Echo360 ServerWeb Login

To log in to the Echo360 server and access your instructor Dashboard:

  1. Go to https://echo360.umass.edu. The Web Login window will open if you are not already logged in to a UMass Amherst service that uses single sign-on (SSO) (e.g., Moodle, Box).
    Note: If you are logged in to a service that uses SSO, you will not need to enter any credentials, and your Echo360 instructor Dashboard will open.
  2. Enter your UMass Amherst NetID and password.
  3. Your Echo360 instructor Dashboard will open.

If you created an Echo360 password when you registered and confirmed your account, you can still log in to Echo360 at https://echo360.org using your email address an Echo360 password. This option could be useful in the unlikely event that the UMass Amherst Web Login and SSO services are not operational.

Personal Capture

Prior to the Fall 2016 semester, UMass Amherst Echo360 Personal Capture users published their recordings using their email address and Echo360 password. (Not their UMass Amherst NetID and password.)

Starting November of this year, Personal Capture users can log in to and publish recordings with Echo360 Personal Capture using their UMass Amherst NetID and Password.

To use this new sign-in process, you will first need to update your Personal Capture software.
