Customize MiVideo Mediaspace Media Page

Environment

MiVideo Mediaspace

Issue

How can I customize the Media page for a specific media item?

Resolution

The Display tab on the Edit Media page allows you to show/hide page elements and change the background and style of the Media page. The Media page displays a single media item in the media player along with information about the media item.

Notes:

• To edit a media item you have to be the media owner or co-editor of the content. See the Media Collaboration and Roles article for information about ownership
• The editing tabs may vary depending on your role
• To edit the media file (trim, chop, splice, copy, and add hotspots and Interactive Video Quizzes) see the Video Editor articles

1. Navigate to the Edit Media page:
   • MiVideo Mediaspace: user drop-down menu > My Media > pencil icon next to the media item
     • or from the Media page, click Actions > Edit
2. Select the Display tab

Notes:

• Customizations only apply to the Media page, not any other views of the media item such as from a playlist or channel
• Customizations are not applied to the Media page while viewing the media item in Canvas if the item is published in a course

There are several customization options, some of which may not be available based on the Mediaspace configuration:

• Entry player (if configured for Mediaspace): Select a media player from the list
• Show elements:  Unchecking an element hides the element on the page. Some page elements or content may not be configured for the Mediaspace
  • Sidebar: Displayed to the right of the media player showing related media and an admin selected playlist
  • Entry properties: Displayed directly under the media player, entry properties include the media name, owner, creation date, and icons for views, comments and likes
  • Entry tabs: Displayed below the entry properties, entry tabs include Details, Share, Attachments, and the Actions drop down menu
  • Comments: Displayed below the entry tabs showing comments and the ability to add a new comment
  • Header: Displayed at the top of the page, the header includes the menu bar, search box, and other navigational elements
  • Header logo: Displayed at the top left of the page
  • Footer (if configured for Mediaspace): Displayed at the bottom of the page
• Background color: Select a background color for the page
• CSS:
  • Upload a CSS file to customize the page.
  • After selecting the file, click the Upload CSS button
• Different logo (if configured for Mediaspace): 
  • Upload a logo that replaces the header logo for the page 
  • After selecting the file, click the Upload logo button
