UVM Streaming Media
What is UVM Streaming Media?:
The UVM Streaming Media website is a video and audio sharing tool similar to YouTube. (The previous tool, Media Manager, has been phased out. Moving files from the Media Manager? See instructions.)
Feature List:
- You can upload videos, add a title, tags, and assign categories to them.
- There are two degrees of privacy settings.
- You can search for videos, share, and embed them into BlackBoard, WordPress, or other webpages.
- Viewers can click anywhere in the video for instant play.
- You can add captions by uploading .srt files.
- You can upload avi, flv, mov, mp3, mp4, rm, wmv files and it will automatically transcode the files to mp4 (as YouTube does) to help ensure consistent delivery across all devices.
Privacy Options:
Anyone with a UVM NetID can upload videos. Anyone (in the world, that is) can browse and view videos unless you choose one of the following privacy options:
- you can restrict viewing to UVM eyes only, requiring a person to log in with their UVM NetID to view the video.
- you can set a video to “private” so it’s viewable only to those with a link to it, for example, within a Blackboard course.
Upload/Share Your Video:
This slideshow provides detailed instructions for uploading video (or audio) files to UVM Streaming Media and then linking them in Blackboard.
