Video Announcements

Creating a Video Announcement

To embed videos from your My Media media gallery directly in an announcement or to record a new video for an announcement:

1.Click on the link to open the Announcements area of your course.

2. Type your announcement title in the Subject line and then in the text box editor, select the Plus Sign button and then “Kaltura Media”. This will open your Kaltura My Media media gallery.

 

3. If you have already recorded the video, you can select it from those listed. If you have not, you will need to select “Add New” and then either “Express Capture” (for webcam only) or “Kaltura Capture” for recordings of slide presentations or screen capture.

 

4. Once you have selected your video or recorded a new video and then selected it, the text box editor will now have a large yellow or gray box where your video will appear. This is normal.

5. Continue filling out the announcement options as you normally do and then click “Submit” to post your video.

When using a video announcement, if you choose to send a copy of the announcement via email, students will not be able to view that video from their email - they will need to log into Blackboard to view the video.
