How to publish media to a channel

There are two methods of adding media to a channel on Illinois Media Space – from the 'My Media' page and from the channel itself.  

Note: In order to publish a video, it must have minimum metadata, e.g., a description.

• To publish media to a channel from the 'My Media' page:
  • From the 'My Media' tab, select one or more items you would like to publish by clicking its corresponding checkbox.
  • {Please note: media must contain a description prior to being published and/or added to a playlist}
  • Under the 'Actions' drop-down menu, and select '+ Publish'.
  • Click the 'Publish in Channel' tab.
  • Select one or more channels that you would like to publish to. Please note that you will see all channels to which you have permission to publish in this list.
  • Click the 'Save' button.
• To add media to a channel from inside the channel:
  • Under your account name in the upper right corner, select 'My Channels' to go to the channels page.
  • Find the channel to which you would like to contribute and click on it to open it.
  • Click the '+ Add Media' button, on the right side of the page, to open a list of your media.
  • Select one or more media items you would like to add by checking its corresponding checkbox. Note: items which are already on the channel will appear here with their corresponding checkbox already selected.
  • Click the '+ Publish' button.
    Note that if the channel is moderated, you will not see your media until a moderator or manager has approved it.
