The "Share external video" feature allows you to display a video from another website within a platform you're using, like a video conferencing tool or learning management system.

A presenter in V.connct has the ability to share an external audio/video with users in the live session.

[Website]

By default, the first Moderator to enter the V.connct session is allocated the presenter role capabilities; if you are a viewer you will need to request presenter status from the moderator. 

When a user has the presenter role, the presenter icon will appear over their avatar in the users' list.

1- Click the “Actions” button.


2- Select “Share an external video”.

3- Paste the URL in Video URL .


4- Click Share a new video to begin sharing.

Using the Share an external video command, you can share a URL for



- YouTube

- Vimeo

- Instructure Media (previously called Arc)

- Twitch and DailyMotion.

- Direct link to a .mp4 file.

- Direct link to a .mp3 file.

- Direct link to a .mp4/.mp3 file shared in DropBox.

The video playback will appear to all users of the session in the presentation area of the V.connct interface; you can pause and skip through the playback.



It is important to note: that some device browsers have auto playback of media turned off and the user will have to select play to engage the video playback.


Audio from the video will play on each user's local system - no need to share an open audio source!


To Stop Sharing
