Sharing media allows you to provide others with helpful materials. Whether you are wanting to share a video via a link or within a course, My Media can help you. Once you have recorded or uploaded your media, there are multiple ways to share this media to others.

Sharing a Direct Link

You can share a direct link to your media using the URL listed when viewing it. This requires you to set your media entry to the unlisted permission.

  1. Select Login from the PSU User drop down menu in PSU MediaSpace.

  2. Log in using PSU’s Single Sign-On (SSO) page.

  3. Expand the drop-down menu with Your Name, then select My Media.

  4. Navigate to the video you want to edit and select the pencil-shaped Edit button to the right of the video.

  5. Expand the Actions drop-down menu beneath your video.

  6. In the resulting menu, select Publish

  7. Under Publishing Status, select Unlisted.

  8. Select the Save button, then select the Back button.

  9. Select the Share tab, copy the URL underneath the  Link to Media Page sub-tab.

  10. Paste the URL in your destination message, document, or website.

Posting in Canvas

While you can share a direct link to your unlisted media to canvas by sharing the URL, you can also directly embed your media within the context of assignments, discussions, or quiz responses. This can be done whenever you are presented with a text entry box such as replying to a discussion.

  2. In the Rich Content Editor toolbar, select the Embed My Media button (highlighted in the image).

  1. Identify the media entry to be submitted and select Embed or select the Embed Settings gear icon to choose further embed options.
