How to embed a video hosted in Stream on SharePoint into Quercus
Updated onArticleUsing an embed code is an easy way to place a video into a Quercus page (or any other web page). When it comes to embedding videos hosted on Stream on SharePoint, however, it gets a bit complicated because of the video sharing permissions. If you simply copy the embed code for the video and place it onto a page, regardless of the permissions, viewers will not be able to access the video right away. Instead, they will be asked to request access. Fortunately, there is a sequence of steps you can take to tweak the video permission settings to make the embedded video immediately available to everyone in your Quercus course.
This guide details on how to adjust the video permission settings in Stream on SharePoint to correctly embed a video into Quercus (within all elements featuring the Rich Content Editor, such as Pages, Discussions, Assignments, Quizzes, etc.). The steps can also be used to embed a Stream video on any other web page.

How do I sign up for UofT Listservs (e.g. MyMedia)?
Updated onArticleUofT has many systems and groups that rely on listserves (email lists) to share updates, news, outages, etc. We recommend signing up for listservs based on the tools you use and your areas of interest. Listservs typically require self-sign up and annual re-subscription. You can unsubscribe at any time.
If you use MyMedia, we highly recommend that you sign up for the MyMedia Listserv as it is a primary means of communication from the team running the tool directly to you.
