Setting up your User Account and Signing In

Creating a personal user account allows you to create playlists, a folder of favorites, and take advantage of a number of customizable features. 

  • If you are not already a registered user, click on Your Profile in the upper right hand corner and Create Account. It will prompt you to create a personal username and password.
  • If you are already a registered user, click on Your Profile and Sign In and enter your personal username and password.

 

Organizing Videos into Folders

If you have your own user account, you can create favorites and customized folders. These are a great way to save quick links to frequently-used videos for easy access in the future. (Note: you must be logged in or it will prompt you to log in.)

Look for the 'Add to' button. Videos can be saved as Favorites into an Unassigned folder or you can create new folders "on the fly" and organize videos within these folders.

Creating Custom Playlists

If you are logged in to your user account, you can add a full title or segments of title to a playlist. Look for the 'Add to' button. Either full titles or segments may be added to a Playlist.

Creating Custom Segments

Note: You must be logged into a personal account to take advantage of this feature. Any MxCC faculty, student, and staff can create one.

The Custom Segment tool allows users to select portions of a full title and create their own custom segments. The custom segments can then be viewed on that title's View Video page, added to a playlist, or embedded into Blackboard or other online resource.

  1. Search and select a video. Click on the Segment tab below the video.
  2. Choose your segment start and end points. These can be entered manually or dropped in using the start and stop buttons that sync to the video player.
  3. Enter a title and description for your segment and then click the create segment button.
  4. The segment will now appear in the Segment tab on the right hand side of video player.
  5. Segments can be viewed in the player by clicking on them. They can also be deleted by clicking on the trash can icon that appears next to the Segment title.
  6. Segments can be shared using the Playlist and Embed tabs that appear below the player.
