Instructions

Due the large file sizes associated with videos, CVCC does not allow the use of the Build Content: Video content creation method. Instead, CVCC requires that you use VidGrid to include video content in your Blackboard courses.

To add a video into your Blackboard course:

1. Click on the Build Content text in your Course Content tab.
2. Click on Item.
3. In the Text Editor toolbar, click on Mashups option .
4. In the drop-down menu, click VidGrid Videos.
5. A new window (or tab) will appear with your VidGrid videos.
   • If you have previously uploaded the video to VidGrid, then you can find the video in your list of videos.
   • If you have not previously uploaded the video to VidGrid, you can do so here by clicking the upload icon in the top-right corner of the screen .
6. Once you have found the video you wish to include, click the Insert button, which is a blue check mark .
7. An outline of the VidGrid video will be added to your text. 
8. Once you’re done adding the text (or videos) in the Text area, click Submit.
