If a live webcast is scheduled, you will, initially, see a banner announcing it. About 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of the live webcast, and during the webcast itself, you will see a button (as shown in the figure below) that allows you to join the webcast. 

If you are using Lecture Tools and want to prepare items for the Live webcast prior to it starting, see Prepare Lecture Tools Course Materials below, as well as Using Lecture Tools with EchoCenter.

Prepare Lecture Tools Course Materials

If your organization is using Lecture Tools in combination with EchoCenter, you may see "Course Tools" buttons that provide access to the Lecture Tools system, and allow you to prepare and publish materials for your courses.

The figure below shows the top banners of the Instructor's view of an EchoCenter, with the Lecture Tools access buttons described below the figure. Both buttons open Lecture Tools and link to the corresponding course in Lecture Tools.
