Sharing with specific users only

If you want to share the video with specific users only then you will need to use the ‘Share with’ drop down menu.

Please note: There are options to share with individual users, groups, or channels. Please contact IT about the creation of a group if you are regularly sharing content with groups.

To share with an individual you need to select the ‘Share with’ drop down menu and choose ‘People’. You can type in an individuals name where it says, ‘Search for People’. You will then see results for both staff and student accounts.

If you wish to give them owner level permissions you can tick the owner box next to their name.

They will then have the same level permissions for this video as yourself. Please note that anyone with ‘Owner’ permissions can delete the video.

To save the changes you will need to press ‘Share’.

The user you have shared the video with will then receive an email to notify them.

Once you press share you will be presented with the following box. You can use this link to share the video with the users that have just been given the necessary permissions to view it, this is useful if you want to share it via an instant messenger platform such as Teams.
