Upload Videos

The Add Video modal allows uploading videos up to 5 minutes long individually. Users can drag and drop a video, or select the file from their computer and can share to a page or collections just like a photo upload.

Embed Videos

Admins and Managers can embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo. Users must have the "Add External Video" permission to be able to add videos from YouTube and Vimeo.

Note: Embedded videos are not 'uploaded' to Vidigami, but rather 'hosted externally' so they can be centralized. Users will still have the ability to modify key information associated with embedded videos within Vidigami.

To insert or embed an external video into Vidigami:

Copy the share link of a video from Vimeo:

Or YouTube:

Paste the link from YouTube or Vimeo into the embed field.

If the link is accepted, users will be able to review the following information:

• Title*
• Description* (pulled from the YouTube or Vimeo description)
• Caption (allows users to add more context to the video upload)
• With (for videos that the student created with others in the Vidigami system)
• Created By (The video creator - will be tagged in that user's feed)
• Tags (add relevant tags in order to be found on Vidigami)
• Copyright (allows the copyright holder to be displayed)

*These items can be edited at a later time. Once completed, select Submit to insert the video to the album.

2. Go to Creator Studio > Video Manager.
3. Next, to the video, click Edit.
4. On the left of the preview screen, choose a thumbnail.
