Blackboard Feature Spotlight: Video Everywhere

The Video Everywhere feature allows both students and instructors to upload videos anywhere the content editor is used. A Google account is required to use this feature as videos are uploaded to YouTube with an unlisted privacy setting. If your school provides you with a Google Apps (GAFE) account that account can be used as long as YouTube is enabled.
