Upload video or audio to My Media

Log in to MediaSpace before continuing with the steps below.

How do I upload video or audio to My Media in MediaSpace?

  1. From the MediaSpace homepage, select Add New, then Media Upload.
  2. If you agree to the PSU terms of service and copyright policy, check the “I agree to the above terms and conditions” box to continue.
  3. Select the Choose a file to upload button.
  4. Select the file you want to upload from your computer.
  5. Once the upload completes, enter a Name for the video.
  6. Enter a brief Description as needed.
  7. Enter Tags as needed.
  8. Choose a Publishing Status. MediaSpace allows users to select a Publishing Status to decide how they want their video viewed. There are three options:
    • Unlisted: Anyone with the link can access the media. Users do not have to log in to view Unlisted content. This option is recommended if you want to share your content with students as a link.
    • Private: Only the owner has access.
    • Published: Users with specified access to the media’s location can access it. If published to a channel, then the users added to that channel must log in to view the content.
  9. Select Save.
  10. Select Go To Media, and verify that your media behaves as expected.
