Streaming media can be added to your website. There are several options.
Videos on YouTube/Vimeo
YouTube and Vimeo each allow you to upload original video content and distribute it via the Internet. People can then view the videos on the YouTube or Vimeo websites. Both websites provide:
- the opportunity for mass distribution of your content
- fast access and loading on a variety of devices
- searchability on search engines
You can also embed these videos on your webpage.
YouTube and Vimeo are distinct services. Start by setting up an account:
Upload your videos as per the instructions on the site.
If you create a YouTube account on behalf of your department, please inform mcs@yorku.ca. They will add your account to the list of Featured York YouTube Accounts.
