The video presentation activity allows you to submit a video of your presentation delivery and then you can synchronize visual aids like PowerPoint slides to your video. Your video presentation will then be displayed in side-by-side windows with your In a video on the left and your visual aids on the right. The presentation activity also includes a powerful feedback feature called SyncCommentsTM which allows viewers to add time stamped comments as they view your video.
You have the option to record your video separately with an external video camera and then upload the video file to YouSeeU or you can record your video using your webcam and microphone and upload it directly to YouSeeU.
You’ll use image files for your visual aids. For example, your PowerPoint slide set can be saved as JPEG images, or you can use a chart or graph made in Excel that is also saved as an image file.
Submitting a Previously Recorded Video
If you would like to submit a video you have previously recorded, you can click Select video if the video is on your computer, Import From library if your video is in your YouSeeU video library, or Transfer if your video is in a cloud based storage such as One Drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox. If you select Import From Library, you will be shown your library and be able to select one of your videos.
If you select Select video, it will bring you to our video uploader. Here you will be able to navigate to your video by clicking Select file. After selecting the file from your computer, you will return to the uploader and can click Begin Upload. Note the file type and file size restrictions shown on the window. Once you begin your upload you will see the progress of your upload as well as your upload speed and projected time remaining.
When your file has been uploaded, you will receive a confirmation window.
