Stream

The default faculty and staff access provides the user the ability to share with members of their course or organization. There may be use cases where an event needs to be shared publicly, such as convocation ceremonies, guest lecturers, promotion videos, etc. 

If you require access to post publicly on behalf of your school, department, or organization, please fill out the  (google form) Stream Video Platform Request Form (external link) .

In 2022, Stream replaced Ryecast as our streaming platform, and any actively used videos were moved over to the new system. All Ryecast content owners were contacted with the option to migrate their content to the new platform.

1. Contact  the individual(s)  who managed your Ryecast content. This could be a department administrator or designated IT person in your team.
2. If you can not find your content, please reach out to the Digital Media Projects team, as your content may live on a channel that is not managed by your team. 
3. If your Ryecast content predates 2019 or hasn't been accessed since then, it might not have been moved to Stream. We can't retrieve old content that doesn't meet our criteria.

If you need to:

• share videos within a D2L Brightspace course, school, organization or department;
• add a quiz within a video;
• analyze viewer behaviour using reports and data analytics;
• allow students to add personal notes and comments within a video

Then the Stream Video Platform is right for you. 

The DMP also offers other tools that might be helpful for other use cases. Please visit our video streaming hosting comparison guide to help you decide which tool is the best for your purposes
