How to share media from www.mivideo.it.umich.edu and other Mediaspaces.

Resolution

Notes

  • Media can only be shared when uploaded to Mediaspace sites (this feature is not available in Canvas) and the media has a published status.
  • Media must be published to a channel or unlisted. See the Publish Media article. For information about creating a channel see the Create a Channel article.
  • Some sharing options below may not be available. Check with the Mediaspace admin if you have any questions about site settings.

Share Media

  1. Navigate to the user drop-down menu > My Media > click media title or thumbnail, or from Channel page > click media title or thumbnail.
  2. From the Media page, select the Share tab under the player.

Link to Media Page

  • Copy the provided link.
  • Specify an optional Start & End Time to share a video segment (only applies to video files). The segment will begin at the Start at time and end at the End at time when the checkboxes are checked and timestamps entered for these values.

Note: only authorized users can access restricted media. For example, if the media is published in a restricted channel, only someone with U-M credentials can access the media.

Embed

  • Copy this link to embed on a website that supports iFrames.
  • Important: Embedding this code on another website will make this media public to the world and override all entitlements defined in Mediaspace.
  • Specify an optional Start & End Time to share a video segment (only applies to video and audio files). The segment will begin at the Start at time and end at the End at time when the checkboxes are checked and timestamps entered for these values.
  • Specify a Player Size.
  • Responsive Sizing allows for the player size to adjust based on the type of device viewing the media. When this option is selected the Player Size option changes to Maximum Player Size.

oEmbed

  • oEmbed is an open format to allow embedding the media onto a website.
  • Copy this link to embed the media on a website that supports oEmbed.
  • Specify an optional Start & End Time to share a video segment (only applies to video files). The segment will begin at the Start at time and end at the End at time when the checkboxes are checked and timestamps entered for these values.
  • Select a Player Skin (this option does not apply to image files).
  • Specify a Player Size.

Email

  • Embed the media link into an email using your preferred email application.
