6.3.5. Add a Course or Program About Video#

Note

This process applies to courses on the edx.org site. If your course will run on Edge, you add the About video in Studio. For more information, see Add a Course About Video.

When you add an About video for a course or a program, you upload the video to the edX About video upload page (https://prod-edx-video-encode-manager.edx.org/upload/). The PC then adds the About video to the Publisher course page.

To add an About video for a course or program that is running on edx.org, follow these steps.

  1. In your browser, go to the edX About video upload page at https://prod-edx-video-encode-manager.edx.org/upload/.

  2. Enter a title for the video that includes the course number and name or the program name. For example, the title might be edx101: Creating an edX Course or edx VideoX XSeries: Creating Video for the edX Platform.

    You can abbreviate the full name of the course or program. However, the information that you enter should clearly identify your course or program.

Note

If problems occur when you try to upload the About video by using the web app, try to upload the About video in a different browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Safari.
