Log in to QMplus and go to your dashboard and click on the My Media link.
You will see your My Media area. If you’ve never uploaded anything before, you won’t see anything listed here. Otherwise you will see a list of all the videos you have uploaded.
Click on the Add New button and then select the Media Upload item from the drop down menu.
Tick the checkbox to accept the terms and conditions.
Now either drag and drop your video file onto the upload area or click the Choose a file to upload button, and find the file you want to upload.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the right to upload the video content. e.g. You should not download content from the internet and upload it to QMplus unless you are sure that the copyright owner allows for this.
Your file will start to upload. The bar will show you the progress of your upload. Do not leave the page until it has completed successfully.
Uploading files can take a long time. The time taken depends on the size of the video file and the speed of your internet connection. Please be aware that internet upload speeds are much slower than download speeds. Uploading from a computer on campus is generally much faster from doing it from home. If you are trying to meet a deadline, e.g. for an assignment submission…do not leave this to the last minute!
Once your file has uploaded successfully, you will see an upload success message.
Now you can fill in some information for your video:
- Add a name for your video
- Add a description
- Optional: add some tags for your video. If the video is related to a particular module, you might want to tag it with the module code.
![Enter details for the video](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="1116" height="550" viewBox="0 0 1116 550"> </svg>)
If you are using the video for an assessment, you are responsible for ensuring that your video has processed successfully before you submit it. Be sure to leave yourself enough time for uploading and processing your file.
Adding this information to this video is useful for you when you want to search for particular media content that you have uploaded and is also useful for those that you might share your video with.
Once you have entered the information, scroll down and click on the Go to My Media link.
You will now see your newly uploaded video listed in your My Media area.
If you have uploaded a large video, you may see a message saying Media processing. This means that the system is processing your video and it is not ready to view yet. This is the same thing that happens when you upload a video to YouTube, the video file has to be processed before it can be viewed. The processing usually happens very quickly without any issues. In rare cases you may find that your video fails to process and you will see an error message. In this case you should try your upload again. If the error persists, raise a ticket on the Helpdesk for support.
