S3 Video

The S3 Video feature allows large video files to be uploaded to an S3 bucket and added to a course from a dropdown list. Learners can stream the video directly in the browser through an embedded player.

Important:
  • Currently, the application does not support direct uploads of video files larger than 250MB, as it is designed for document viewers best performance with files under 250MB.
  • For videos exceeding 250MB, the S3 bucket feature should be used when adding the file as a course resource.
  • To enable uploads of videos larger than 250MB, contact the Trial Interactive Service Desk to configure the S3 bucket.

Process to Request S3 Bucket Access

  1. Submit a Service Desk (SD) ticket to the Trial Interactive Service Desk requesting S3 video upload access.
  2. The SD team configures the company’s S3 bucket (AWS settings).
  3. Once AWS settings are enabled, submit a follow-up SD ticket, or reply to the existing ticket, to request the S3 video upload link.
  4. The SD team provides SFTP access credentials (URL, username, and password).
  5. Upload the large video files to the provided SFTP location.
  6. The SD team adds the files to the configured S3 bucket.
  7. The video becomes available for selection from the S3 bucket as a course resource.
