How do I create a clip of my video in ShareStream?

You will learn how to create one or more clips of your video for use in your course in Canvas.

For example, if you want your students to view a clip of a video rather than the entire video, this feature can help you do that.

Follow these steps after you have uploaded at least one video (or the Pollak Library has uploaded a video for you).

1. Log in to the ShareStream MediaManager.

Go to https://fullerton.sharestream.net/ssdcms/mainPage.do to access the ShareStream MediaManager.
