Sharing Your Channel
A Drexel faculty or professional staff member or active adjunct or instructor has to login to Drexel Connect or DrexelOne and visit the Drexel Streams webpage *before* they can view a video, no matter if the "Open" or "Restricted" or "Private" option is selected for the channel.
Doing so creates a Drexel Streams profile that is needed for accessing any videos shared this way on Drexel Streams.
A Drexel student is *not* able to watch any Drexel Streams video in a channel, unless
- it's embedded in a Bb Learn course shell,
- or Drexel ITG (central Bb Learn office) modifies that particular student's Drexel Streams or Drexel online profile
- or possibly if that video own permissions are set to "Unlisted," which makes the videos viewable by anyone with a direct link to the video.
Drexel students cannot access Drexel Streams by default, so they cannot create a profile.
