You can use eStream to:

Uploading a video

Upload the video via Moodle

This is the most common method and the one we recommend.

You can upload your video into any editable text box in Moodle. Typically, tutors will ask you to upload to a Forum (or another activity in your Moodle module space) as part of a piece of formative work. You may also be asked to submit a video for an assignment.

To upload a video to eStream via Moodle:

1. Login to MoodleLink opens in a new window
2. Browse to the activityLink opens in a new window where you need to upload the video.
3. Open the activity and click the eStream button on the editing toolbarLink opens in a new window.
4. Click Upload then browse to, or drag and drop the desired file.
5. Once you are done save the changes or submit the forum post.

Upload the video directly to eStream

This method is the one to use if the video you are uploading isn't for a course, or if your department is not using Moodle yet.

1. Login to eStream ( estream.warwick.ac.uk ) using your Warwick username and password.
2. Click on Create.
3. Click on Upload.
4. Click Upload Video or drag and drop your file onto the upload box.

Sharing your video

As a student, your video is private by default. This means that in the eStream portal they cannot be found by either students or by staff.

You can share your videos by embedding them in Mahara, or sending someone a web link.

Share by embedding [into Mahara*]

*This could be other locations but the most common place we would expect you to be doing this is our ePortfolio service, Mahara.

When you embed your videos in Mahara it will require that people be logged in to view it.

1. Login to eStream
2. Hover over your name in to top right to reveal menu and click MyHome.
3. Use the search to find the video that you want to share.
4. Click Share and Share by Embedding.
5. Choose the options you want. For example size of video frame, how long it is available for, etc.
6. Copy the embed code and add it to the page. (eg. Mahara).

Share by Web Link

1. Login to eStream
2. To share a link select Share then Share by Web Link.
3. Under options, you can change Unrestricted Access to the number of days you want the link to remain live, or choose Always to leave access open.
4. Leave Bypass authentication unchecked if you want to restrict access to logged-in students or staff at Warwick, or check it to make the link public.
5. Once your link is configured, you can then copy the web link and share it.
