Uploading large video files to Blackboard (or PowerPoint with embedded audio\/video) uses up the University&#8217;s limited storage allowance, and can cause performance issues; Stream has a generous storage allowance. Stream can automatically generate a transcript \/ captions of your video for improved accessibility. See also Good practice when sharing screencasts with students. Controlling access to your videos When uploading to Stream, you can control access to your video using the following permission settings: Only visible to you. To specific people you name. To a Group \u2013 this equates with the members of a specific Microsoft Team or Blackboard course. To a Channel &#8211; a collection of videos which you can share with one or more Groups. To everyone &#8211; staff and students within the University. You cannot make Stream videos visible to people who do not have a University account. Videos should normally be shared only with Groups or Channels or individuals &#8211; not made visible to the entire organisation. To view screenshots of these settings go to &#8216;Setting Permissions&#8216;. Sharing videos with your students You can share video content with your students via a Blackboard Course. For details see MS Stream: How to Add Permissions for a Blackboard Module It will usually be best to embed videos in a content area of your course, alongside other related learning activities. You can get a link or an embed code, and paste this into your Blackboard course.\u00a0See\u00a0Embed A Video in Blackboard. The link\/embed code will only allow permitted viewers to access the video, so you will need to set permissions on the video to allow access by the Group linked to your Blackboard course. Uploading Video Content The most common ways you will upload content is from a narrated Power Point, a Teams Meeting recording or from video content you have created yourself. Go to Upload Video Content to view the steps for each method.","og_url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2020\/04\/03\/using-microsoft-stream-to-share-video-content\/","og_site_name":"Blackboard Help for Staff -
