You can upload, embed, or record a video using the webcam on your computer.
Before you upload a video, you might want to take a look at best practices for uploading videos to your community.
To add a video:
- Click
and
then select Video. - Add a title for your video.
- In the shaded video box, select Upload,
Embed, or Record. (You can also do
any of these right from the content editor by clicking the video icon in the
formatting bar.)
- Upload: this allows you to upload a video from your computer.
- Record: this allows you to record a video using the webcam on your computer.
- Embed: this allows you to embed a video from another
site. Just copy and paste the video's URL or embed code into the input field
in Jive and then click Import. Note: Video URLs from providers listed on embed.ly's provider page are automatically uploaded. For other video sites, you can embed a video using its embed code, which typically includes an <iFrame> or <Object> tag. Most video websites support the iFrame/Object tag standard, but there are some that do not or that have their own embedding method; these videos will not import.
- Add a description for your video.
- Select a place to publish to video and add any relevant tags to make the video easier for others to find later.
- Click Publish to complete the upload in the selected place.
Note that it might take a little time for the video to be completely uploaded to the community. Until that's done, no one will be able to watch it.
