How to add your media to your UCL Drupal website

For UCL websites, we advise all people at UCL to upload and embed videos from Mediacentral. Here is an example of a video on a UCL webpage:

Ensure in Mediacentral you have chosen the Public Access category for your video, if you wish to add to a website.

 

Before you start, first get the correct Mediacentral share code

You can access the Share code from the email you received confirming your upload was successful.

  • To do this click on the link in the email and this will open your video in Mediacentral
  • Click on the 'Share' icon that you will see to the top right of your video
  • Copy the url link at the bottom of the frame, then:

Email, Twitter and Facebook Share icons

 

Access the UCL webpage you are editing in Drupal

  • Ensure you are in editing mode
  • Click where you want the embedded media to appear
  • In the editing toolbar click on the Embed external widgets icon  -  </>
