VIUTube media is not visible with anyone but you by default. If you want others to see your media, you can do so by giving a link to your media or by embedding your media into a website or VIULearn course.
Linking or Embedding Media From VIUTube
- Navigate to VIUTube and find the video you wish to share in your Media Library.
- Hover over the media you wish to share and select More...
- Click the Links tab.
- Copy the Direct Link text. Anyone that you provide this link to will be able to view the media in VIUTube.
You can use this option if you wish to share a video with your instructor in an Assignment Submission folder or in an email. Depending on the settings your instructor has in place for that Assignment Submission folder, you may need to paste this link into a Word or Text document and then upload that text file to the Assignment Submission folder for your instructor to view.
Copy the Embed Code if you would like to embed the media directly into a website or page. You can use this option if you wish to embed a video into a Discussion Thread or Discussion Post.
