How to Upload Video Files
Approach 1: The recommended approach to uploading a video is to upload a document (Word or PDF) that has a hyperlink to the video included in the text of the document. Faculty can link to a YouTube video or to a video saved to their OneDrive. If linking to a video file saved to OneDrive, you must make the video public.
Approach 2: Another approach to including a video file in a case packet is to embed the video into the packet so that it plays directly in Faculty180 for committees and reviewers without having to navigate to another webpage. Note that using this method means that the video is not exportable if the packet is ever downloaded by reviewers or other institutional staff. Also, the video must be saved to YouTube or Vimeo to use this method.
