Upload videos as File resource
Managers can upload and integrate video files directly into the course room as a file. The maximum file size for videos uploaded as files is 250 MB. You can provide larger videos via the Opencast streaming server.
Note
1. Uploading videos as files
The easiest way to upload video files to the course room is via drag and drop. Please proceed as follows:
- Activate the editing mode in the course room by clicking on "Turn editing on".
- Drag the video file to the desired position in the course room and then drop it.
- After that you get two options to choose from:
- Add media to the course page: With this option, the video can be played by a player directly in the course room (see below).
- Create file resource: With this option, the video is only saved as a file and cannot be played directly (see below).
- After choosing an option, click on "Upload".
Alternatively, you can upload the video files as a file via "Add an activity or resource".
