eStream is a media streaming service available to all staff and students at the university. It can be accessed using standard Warwick IT account details at https://estream.warwick.ac.uk.

The service converts uploaded media content into web friendly files (MP4/MP3) that are of a suitable size and format to stream over the web. The software also generates a universal embed code which provides an easy way of embedding media content into online services such as Moodle, Mahara and Sitebuilder. Video and audio files are streamed using HTML5 technology enabling content to be viewed using the majority of browsers and devices, including iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Android.

eStream also provides a range of useful tools that enable the sharing and management of media content and a set of Moodle plugins extend the functionality of the Warwick VLE.
