Getting Videos from Studio Library into a Course

Now that you have videos in your Studio Library, how do you get them into your courses so students can see them? You have two options: embedding the video using the Studio plug-in app and using a public link. See the directions about how to share a video with another instructor.

Using the Studio App

This is the most common way to add a Studio video to your course content and it gives you the most options. You can the the Studio app anywhere there is the Rich Content Editor, including Pages, Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions and more.

For the videos in this module so far, I used the Studio app to add the video. I turned the Display Media Tabs off so you do not see the Details and Comments tabs. Contrast that with the video below where the Display Media Tabs are on. Watch the video to see how to embed a video using the Studio app. You can add multiple videos on the same page or assignment.

Videos embedded with the Studio app are only shared with the students in the class. One case where the Studio app may not be the best way to use a Studio video is in announcements that are copied to multiple classes. It those cases, you want to embed a link.

Video Insights

One especially nice feature of videos embedded using the Studio app is the option to see video Insights. Using the Insights tab, you can see the total views of video and what parts of the video were viewed. If you scroll down, you can get the same information of views by individual students. Please note that the video is embedded in its own "frame" on the page so you will need to make sure you are scrolling down on the inner frame to see all the data, not just scrolling on the page.

If you want to see any viewing analytics on the video, make sure the Display Media Tabs are turned on when you add the video using the Studio app.
