MyMedia is a University of Toronto Libraries service for hosting, managing, and streaming video and audio. You can upload media files to MyMedia and share them through a permanent link or embed them in Quercus and other supported locations.
This guide explains how to upload an existing video or audio file to MyMedia.
Are you uploading content for a course?
You can upload media using your personal MyMedia account or request a separate MyMedia course account. A course account can be useful when multiple members of a teaching team need to upload or manage media files for a course.
For more information, see How can I request a MyMedia account for my course?
