2. Publish

Now that you've recorded your video, you'll need a place to host it so that it can be easily captioned and shared with your viewers. If you went with the Canvas Studio option to record, then see those videos for making them available in Canvas. 

YouTube

YouTube is the simplest and easiest place to host (save) your videos. Video files can be quite large, and you don't want them uploaded to Canvas which is not a media server. YouTube allows you to edit the automated captions, and allows for easy sharing, linking, and embedding in Canvas.

3CMedia Solutions

As employees of the California Community College system, you do have access to another video hosting solution called 3CMediaSolutions.org. Links to an external site. This provides an alternative hosting solution if you don't want to create a YouTube channel and you're looking for a different site for hosting your videos. 

Time to Publish!

Your turn to give this a try. Locate the video that you recorded in the previous step, and upload it your hosting location. Remember your hosting location isn't Canvas. Canvas isn't a video hosting site, so you'll get poor performance and you'll quickly run out of storage space with large video files inside your course.  Create your YouTube account or 3CMedia account and then upload your video file.
