Creating and Managing Media Channels

Within the Video Platform, Channels can be created either through an Organization’s LMS, YuJa LTI-integration, or through the Courses & Groups page by an Administrator. These Channels are accessible to all Administrators and Content Creators, as well as users who are a member of a Course & Group.

Creating a Channel within the Video Platform

In most cases, Channels are created by Content Creators going through the YuJa LTI in each of the Organization's LMS courses; however, an Administrator will also have the option to create a new Channel through the Courses & Groups page.

1. As an Administrator, click on the Main Menu option and select Courses & Groups.
   

   

2. Click on Add Group and fill out the following information, then click Finish Add Group.
   

   

• Group Name: The name of your Channel/Group.
• Group Code (Optional): Shortcode for your Channel/Group.
• Section or Term (Optional): The Term of the Channel, or the Section where the Channel belongs.
• Student Publishing to Media Channel: Setting permissions whether to let users publish media files into the Channel/Group or not.
3. Once the Channel is created, the Group Owner will be able to add or invite additional users to the group.
