Choose Multimedia Channel for Playlist

In addition to adding individual video or multimedia file content to your site, you can incorporate multimedia playlists stored in Brightcove or Youtube libraries directly into CommonSpot pages. (Playlists are not available for local multimedia service.) The first step in this process is choosing a target channel for the playlist you want to upload.

This dialog displays channels registered for your site with a configuration state of ready, as indicated by a green flag in Multimedia Channels. See the Site Administrator's Reference for details. Your site may have some or all channels available. Administrators create new channels through Site Admin - Multimedia Services - Channels.

Pick the target channel.

As with uploaded documents and external web pages, you can make multimedia files the target of CommonSpot links via the Insert Link dialog.

Restrict file sizes as follows:

Check with external services for updates to these limits. Note that external content is not searchable via the full-text search feature.

To begin the upload process, click to highlight the target channel, as shown above for the Brightcove Default Channel, then click  Next. A Select Subsite dialog displays for the new multimedia playlist.
