New Video Upload Flow Has Been Rolled Out!

This new flow is designed to significantly improve course authoring efficiency (along with an improved UI) by allowing the user to add and/or upload a video to a course with a much simpler process that involves two clicks (click the video you want and add it within the video editor). 

Add New or Previously Uploaded Video to Course 

If you are in a Unit in your course and you want to add a previously uploaded video, you click on the green video tile.

Open

You now see a list of all the videos that you have previously added to your course. You can search for specific videos within the Search bar, filter by date added (newest/oldest), name (ascending/descending), or duration (longest/shortest). You can sort by video status (uploading, processing, ready, failed). To add a video to your course, click on the video you want to add and then click on Select video. 

Open

To upload or embed a new video, click on the link on the bottom left side of the Add video to your course page. You can drag and drop a video, click to upload a video, or paste your video ID or URL in the text box. 

In the screenshot above, a Youtube URL was pasted into the text box. If you click the right arrow in the box, you are taken to the Video Settings page (screenshot below). If you click Save, the video is added to your course. If you click on Replace video, you are taken back to the Add video to your course page.
