Description: Echo360 includes the option to Live Stream a lecture to online students.  Online students receive the video being projected (e.g. slides) and audio from the lecturer's microphone; they can participate in polls and in the Q&A discussion on Echo360 slides.  While this can be a valuable online option for some courses, it does not provide the same experience as the video conference platforms, as the online students cannot be seen or heard in the physical classroom, they cannot see or hear other students, and there can be a few minutes delay in the stream they receive (e.g. they might miss participating in a quick poll). If your Echo360 recording is scheduled already, you still need to opt-in for Echo360 Live Streaming through a request to the ITS ServiceDesk.
