With the Media Library tool, you can add either External or Internal Media. The following instructions are for adding External Media.

For information on adding a video to the Media Library tool without using an external host like YouTube or Vimeo, see these instructions:

Adding Internal Media

  1. For External Media, in the Upload media file or link to Vimeo/Youtube resources? section, select External Media.

  2. In the Select External Media field, enter the valid Vimeo/YouTube URL to the video.

    • Once you have added the URL, make sure to click the blue Validate button to the right of the field to ensure the system is able to process the link.

    • If the system cannot process the link, please check the URL and ensure that it is in the correct format, using the help text located below the Select External Media field for reference.

  3. In the General Media Information field, input the appropriate ownership and copyright information for the video.

    • In the Title field, enter the title of the video.

    • In Description field, enter the description of the video content.

    • In the Credits field, input the appropriate ownership and copyright information for the video.

    • To determine whether or not the video should be allowed for reuse by any user in the Media Library system, use the Re-Use dropdown menu and select the appropriate option.

      • If your video may be used by others in the system, select the Anyone may use this media option.

      • If your video is for your use only, select the None, only I may use option.

  4. In the Related Information section, select any appropriate data tags (this is all optional):

    • Use the People tag to add data pertaining to the individuals at Yale who appear in the video.

    • Use the Organizations tag to add data pertaining to the relevant organizations.

    • Use the Keywords (MeSH) tags to add relevant keywords pertaining to the video content.

Please note that the Related Information Keywords are currently in development. Integration with profiles and organizations has not yet been built and is slated for future development. While these fields are optional, we do recommend that you input the information now in lieu of the future development, rather than having to revisit old videos in the system.

Once you have inputted this information, click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
