Uploading

There are many ways to share the video with your students. You can upload it on YouTube, use a learning management system or share it on your website.

YouTube is a dedicated streaming service and it can modify video settings depending upon the network bandwidth of the student. We suggest that you upload the video on YouTube and share the link on a learning management system (like mooKIT) or your website.
