To make your videos accessible via the web you must copy your streamed video to the streaming server.  Before you can do this you will need to request a folder on QTMovies.  Do this by emailing the webmaster (webmaster@cofc.edu) and asking for a folder.  Be sure to include who should be able to access the folder.

  5. From the next window choose QTMovies from the dropdown menu and click OK.
  6. An icon named QTMovies will now appear on your desktop.
  7. Double-click the QTMovies icon to open it and locate your folder.  Double-click on your folder to open it.
  8. Drag your movie (.mov) from the desktop in the QTMovies > YourFolder folder.
  9. Your movie is now posted.

 

Windows:

  1. From the Start menu click on My Network Places.
  2. From the left side menu choose Add a network place.
  3. Click Next

  2. Type in http://stream.cofc.edu/yourfolder/yourmoviename.mov where "yourmoviename.mov" is the actual name of your streamed video you moved to the server in Step 2.

 

To use your streamed movie in WebCT

The easiest way to add a streamed movie to WebCT is as a URL.

  1. From inside your WebCT class, choose Add Page or Tool.
  2. Under the Pages header choose URL
  3. Complete the Add URL form as follows:
    • Next to Enter a Title for this item: type in the title you wish to use (i.e. the name of the movie clip)
    • Next to Address: type in http://stream.cofc.edu/yourfolder/yourmoviename.mov where "yourmoviename.mov" is the actual name of your streamed video you moved to the server in Step 2.
    • Next to Decide where to show the link to this item choose where you wish the icon for this clip to appear.
