eStream

Videos may either be Public or Private.

Public Videos

These are listed on the eStream portal and will appear in search results by any user.

Private Videos

These videos are not listed on the eStream portal and will only appear in search results by the owner of the video.

Restricting Access

eStream itself offers no mechanism to restrict viewing of videos to a specific group of users.

However eStream videos may be embedded in to Myplace.

When embedded into Myplace by the owner of the video, a private video can be watched by Myplace users, even though it would not be presented in the eStream Portal.

The Myplace Restrict Access feature on activities can then be used to control which Myplace users may see the private video. This allows content to be restricted to users enrolled on the class site or even down to specific groups (or any other condition that can be specified in Myplace).
