Upload Your First Media in VIDIZMO

The upload feature in VIDIZMO lets you add various types of files to your Portal's library. These types include videos, images, audio files, documents, SCORM packages, and more. In an EnterpriseTube (or EVCM) Portal, uploaded files are often called media.

What you can upload depends on your product package and Portal settings. If you have administrative access (for example, as a member of the Portal Manager group), you can configure these settings.

After an upload finishes, VIDIZMO starts processing the file by triggering a workflow. The workflow activities or actions during upload also depend on your Portal's configuration.

The most common activity is transcoding, which is enabled by default on all VIDIZMO Portals. Transcoding creates optimized renditions so your media plays smoothly across devices and bandwidths and supports formats that aren't natively supported, such as .mov

This article explains how to upload content to your VIDIZMO Portal.

Prerequisites

To upload content to your Portal, you need the required feature permissions. In VIDIZMO, feature permissions are granted through groups. Ensure you belong to a group that provides one of the following:

  • Upload and manage my content: Lets you upload and manage your items in My Library (your private library). Commonly included in the Contributor group.
  • Upload and manage all content: Lets you upload and manage all items across the Portal and access Media Manager, in addition to My Library. Commonly included in administrative groups such as Content Manager.

Upload Media

Follow these steps to upload media to your EnterpriseTube Portal:

  1. Click the Add Media button (bottom-right) to open the upload page.

  1. Select Upload Media

  1. Drag one or more files into the upload area, or select Click here to upload and choose your files.

  1. As the upload starts, the settings interface opens. Use it to monitor upload progress and configure settings for your file. The progress indicator appears on the left—ensure it reaches 100% for a successful upload

  1. When the upload is complete, VIDIZMO displays a notification indicating that the media has been published, drafted, or sent for moderation. The message depends on your Portal settings.
  2. Next, you can either: i. Select Close to exit without changing any settings. ii. Select Save & Close to save your settings and return to the library. iii. Continue editing the settings. Use the Save button to save changes while keeping the interface open.

VIDIZMO includes default certificate templates; you can also create custom templates in your Portal and select them here. This setting is optional.
