Embedding Video Files in Blackboard with Google Drive
While it is possible to store documents and images directly inside of a Blackboard course, for large files such as video content it is more efficient to store them in Google Drive. All 淫性视频 faculty, staff, and students have access to 20GB of storage space on their individual Google Drive accounts.
To begin, navigate to your course and click on the + icon to create an item, then choose "Content Market".
From the list of Content Market options, choose "Google Drive File Embed".
If you aren鈥檛 already signed into your GSuite for Education account, click 鈥淪ign In鈥 and log in with your full firstname.lastname@stockton.edu email address.
Next, choose the 鈥淯pload鈥 tab and choose a file from your computer to upload. During the upload process, you鈥檒l be asked to attach the file to your course 鈥 choose 鈥淎ttach鈥 when prompted.
A link to your file will appear in your course. Your video may take a few minutes to process before it can be viewed.
Once your video file has been processed, it can be watched directly within the course with familiar video player controls.
Note: to share videos uploaded in this manner outside of Blackboard, navigate to Google Drive and find the appropriate video file, then right-click on the file and choose "get shareable link". This will generate a link that you can share via email or other electronic mediums.
