Configure a webcast

Once an administrator has created a webinar course and added sessions, you can configure and upload content to the Webcast Tool before you conduct the live webinar.
To open the webcast tool as an Administrator:
  1. Go to your Course Management list from the admin menu and find your course.
  2. Select the name for your course.
  3. Go to the
    Advanced Properties
     tab.
  4. Go to
    Additional Fields
    .
  5. Scroll down to the Webcast Mapping section and select
    Launch
    . If you don't see the Launch button, select the number of
    Estimated Participants
     from the dropdown and select
    Confirm to Launch
    .
If you don't have an Administrator (Power User) account, you can open the webinar room as an instructor or moderator (tutor) from My Courses and Learning Plans. You'll only be able to join when you're within the timeframe the administrator set when they created the session.

Playlists

Instructors can save time finding and presenting files during their session by uploading and organizing them to a playlist ahead of time. Only the instructors and moderators can see the playlist. If you can't see the Playlist, select
Playlist
 from the toolbar. To upload files to a playlist:
  1. Select
    Files
     from the toolbar.
  2. Select the Add Files icon to upload files from your computer.
  3. Once uploaded, select to highlight the file and select
    Add to Playlist
    .
    Press and hold the
    Ctrl
     key and select multiple files to upload all of them at once.
You can drag and drop items within your playlist to reorder them. If you want to remove an item from your playlist, hover over it and select the X to remove it. Removing an item from the playlist won't delete it entirely; you can still access it from
Files
 in the toolbar. To play an item in your playlist, simply select it. Items that're playing will be highlighted green.

Videos

You can play any publicly listed YouTube video in your webcast session.
To add a YouTube video:
  1. Select
    Tools
     from the toolbar.
  2. Choose
    YouTube
    .
  3. Use the search field to enter the name of the video you'd like to add.
  4. Select the video you want to play.
  5. Select
    Add to playlist
    .
Once you've added all of your content to your playlist, you're ready to instruct or moderate the live webinar.
