Channels are an organization method for videos, but not a permission method. Channels do not have any permissions on their own. You can put a video into one or several channels to help viewers find it more easily.

When you create a channel, you decide whether it's a company-wide channel that anyone in your organization can add and remove videos from, or if it's a group channel where you can limit contributors. See How to create a channel in the Stream How To section.

Company-wide channels are great for organizing videos by topics and providing a way for community-driven content duration.

• They can be seen by everyone within your company.
• Everyone within your company can add videos or remove videos from them.
• Only the creator of the channel can edit the channel itself.
• Only videos that have Allow everyone in your company to view this video checked can be added to company-wide channels.

Group channels are great for adding further organization of videos within a group and when you want to determine who can see and who can upload videos to a channel.

• Group channels inherit the permissions from the group they are contained in.
• All contributors to a group can create channels, add videos to them, remove videos from them, and edit settings about the channel.

A group can be used when you want to limit access to who can view videos to those within the group or if your videos need to persist after you leave the university as in the case of videos for offices, departments, committees, or project teams.

• An owner of the group will have to add and remove members of the group.
• Only group members will be able to see videos and channels within the group.

Owners: Owners of the group will get full control over the group, channels within the group, and any videos owned by the group. They can edit the settings of the group and create/delete channels.

Members: There is Stream setting that controls if members are contributors to the group or they are viewers only. This is controlled by the Allow all members to contribute setting.

• If Allow all members to contribute is on, the members of the group will be contributors to the group. They will be able to create/delete channels, add video to the group, and modify videos owned by the group.
• If Allow all members to contribute is off, the members of the group will be viewers of the group. They will only be able to view videos with this group.

See How to request a group, How to add or remove users from a group, How to upload a video to a group, and What to do if you don't see a group listed and you believe that you are a member in the Stream How To section.

If you wish to use Steam as part of your course syllabus, be sure to review and follow the recommendation.

• If your videos can be viewed by anyone at ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â, the videos can be uploaded using the company-wide option on the Permissions tab. For organizational purposes, it is recommended that you create a company-wide channel for each course.
• For videos that need to have a smaller audience, you can request a group. It is recommended that the group be course-based, not semester-based. If you are teaching PLSC 111, the group will be named with the course name and your username: PLSC 111 username
  • After the group has been created, upload the videos to the group.
  • The group owner is responsible for updating membership in the group from semester to semester.
• If your students will be uploading videos to share with the rest of the class, you can request a group with the term and optional section added, for example: 2020 Spring PLSC 111, or 2020 Spring PLSC 111 008.
  • The group owner is responsible for adding your students to the group.
  • After they've been added, they can upload their videos to the group.

Request a new group by submitting an ticket. In the request, identify

• the name you'd like to use for the group,
• the owner of the group and
• justification for your request.

The owner will be able to update the membership of the group.

When the group has been created, you will be able to upload the videos to the group. Be sure not to upload these to your own account when you upload your videos. This will ensure that the videos will remain available and accessible after you leave the university.

No, you will have to log an ticket to request a group. Please include the following information in the request:

You should request a group if one of the following is true:

• Your videos require limited accessibility for viewing and cannot be "company-wide."
• Students will be uploading videos in Stream as part of their coursework, and the other students in the course will need to have access to the videos.
• Your videos will need to be accessible after you leave the university. This is most common for offices or departments.

Videos that are uploaded to your account will no longer be accessible. Videos that you uploaded to a group will remain in the group where they can be managed by other group members.

From the left menu under Groups, select the role you have in the group: Owner or Member.

If the group is not listed and you should be a member, please ask the group's owner to verify your membership in the group. If you are the owner of the group and the group is not listed, please log an ticket for assistance.

If the group appears, continue with these steps:

• Open Stream.
• Select My Content.
