Enroll with the MVoD Service
Step 1: Sign up (see application process) for the MVoD service. We will register your website address and website administrator’s contact on our database.
Recording Availability Notification
Step 2: When the recording is available, your website administrator will receive an automated email notification with a link to your video.
For example:
Posting the Video
Step 3: This link does not work as a standalone link, meaning you cannot open the link from your email, or forward the link to users for viewing. The website administrator needs to create a hyperlink on the associated website in order to create an embedded video page. To do this, copy and paste the HTML code below, replace the URL with the one sent by MedIT, and change the text (“My Video Title”) to the title of your video.
<a href="http://ext.videohosting.med.ubc.ca/requestExtVideo.aspx?videoid=2496">My Video Title</a>
Trim the Recording
Optional Step 4: There may be some “dead” air at the beginning and end of the video. To trim the beginning and end time of video, you can add a “start” or “end” variable to the link.
Start: To edit the start index of the video playback, add &start=<# of seconds> to the end of the link. The below example starts the video 2 minutes (120 seconds) ahead from the original start time.
http://ext.videohosting.med.ubc.ca/requestExtVideo.aspx?videoid=2257&start=120
End: To edit the start index of the video playback, add &end=<# of seconds> to the end of the link. The below example ends the video after 5 minutes (300 seconds) from the original start time.
http://ext.videohosting.med.ubc.ca/requestExtVideo.aspx?videoid=2257&end=300
Note: The “start” and “end” variables can all be combined in the same link:
