Use the next area down to set:
Notifications: whether group members get an email notification of changes to your video page
Groups: Check the boxes next to the groups you want to share the video with in the “Audience” section.
URL Path settings: If you would like a shorter URL to your video page,
you can type the path in the "URL Path Settings" field. (e.g. instead of node/125 it might read /your_video_name)
Revision information: If you log back in and make changes to the event you can log the changes in the “Revision Information” field.
|
 |
After you click the “Save” button, you will be taken directly to your video. |
 |
If your group administrator has set up a "Video(s)" page, your video will be posted on the “Video(s)” page of each selected group. |
 |
A link to your video will also appear in each selected group's “Activity Stream”. |
 |
You can also add a "Sunset" date and time to automatically archive the video. When it is archived, it will no longer show in the featured portion of the video page |
Setting a video as a Featured Video
Only group administrators can set videos to be "Featured".
If you are a group administrator, you will have more settings available for you to use.
You will need to edit some of these settings to make a video show in the "Featured" section.
 |
Make sure the video is set to"public" in the group settings. |
 |
Publishing options should be checked as "published" and "publicized to group home page". Be certain the video is not archived by the sunset date (described above). |
