allow embedding in LMS of content in Echo360 courses/sections (rather than personal library)

Our instructors welcome the ability to embed Echo360 content in the LMS (Moodle) via the button in the text editor, but this only allows embedding of content in the user's personal library, not in courses/sections.
Most of our scheduled recordings are in courses/sections and users who are instructors in that course/section and LMS course will want to embed, but these users only rarely have the item also in their library.
This causes problems, as peopel are not able to find the right content to embed.
Additionally, instructors are embedding content from their library to an LMS course, but if a student navigates the course on Echo360, they can't find all of the videos, because some are in fact not in the course, but in an instructor's library. THere are often many instructors to a course, and many of them are sessional staff. This makes long-term management of content difficult.
Please add the ability to embed content "from my courses". This could be controlled by an institution setting "allow instructors to embed from their personal library / any course where they are instructor / both".

Hi Minh-Tam,
After taking another look at this, some of what you may be trying to do is available today through the use of Collections. When adding users to a Collection, if you give them the "Post" permission, then that user will be able to see and embed any content that is in the Collection. This could help with your embed scenario.
For students not seeing all of their LMS course content in once place due to the individual embeds and Section - that's great feedback! We'll keep this in mind as we continue to work on LTI 1.3 support as well as the transition to Folders.

Hannah Petty: I have found collections to be somewhat useless. - but I am having a bad Echo360 day.

I'd endorse this request especially as during covid 99% of content has been created using Universal Capture Personal or user software and so is available to embed in our LMS from instructors personal libraries - over the past year staff have gotten used to this (new staff won't have known any other way) and will be confused when we move back to a situation where much content will be scheduled device captures which in our institution also are not 'owned' by instructors and therefore not embeddable from personal libraries.
