Download without enrolling the course #45

Open katelinyan opened 2 years ago

katelinyan commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to download lecture videos using the link that your friend has given you (from the same institution) but you are not enrolled in that specific course... e.g. https://echo360.net.au/section/a25a73c6-0499-4872-b89e-8cef66532062/home

Thank you! @@

I didn't even know that you can share videos in echo360.

Is it possible to download with the same internal mechanism, possibly? But I have no access to work on that. Interestingly, that URL format looks like the typical eho360 url format that this module supports:

https://echo360.<org|net>[.xx]/section/$(UUID)/home

but apparently from your description, probably that link leads to some interface that is different than the typical echo360 course home page?

I would believe you would need to be enrolled in that course to be able to view that in your echo360 "home" page otherwise you wouldn't even be able to get passed the authentication page to access the content as far as I know. So maybe you could ask your friend to share their information or even log in for you and then you do your business downloading the content and then you can be on your way
