Distributing Recordings and Videos Getting Started with Collaborate Publish To store my recording(s) To share with an individual or a group of individuals To store locally ● Google Drive is a tool that lets you store up to 5 GB of files for yourself or to link out to other people. For more information, see http://google.ncsu.edu/. ● My Mediasite can be used to upload previously recorded video to be stored and managed in one location. Users are also able to edit video through a Web-based video editor and provide links to their presentations. https://apps.delta.ncsu.edu/my _mediasite/ Velocity is a free service for NCSU users. You can upload large files and send links to other people to access them. Files uploaded to Velocity are available for 31 days from the upload date or from the last time they were downloaded. Log in with your NC State email address and Unity ID password. https://velocity.ncsu.edu/ Local storage simply means keeping a copy on your personal computer. This is helpful if you are archiving your recordings for student record retentions, but do not need others to access the files. It’s a good idea to keep multiple copies (flash drives, other computers) in case something happens to your computer.
