Quick tip
When should I assign a clip instead of sharing it with a link?
Assigning a clip is best when you want students to access it inside ClickView, where it appears in their classroom and supports structured viewing. Sharing a link works well for quick distribution, but assigning keeps the clip tied to your teaching workflow and makes it easier for students to find in one place.

Steps to share clips from My Videos

  1. Click on My Videos in the main menu on the left of your ClickView screen.
    Hand pointing over the "My Videos" in the left navigation
  2. Click the ‘Clips’ filter at the top of the page to view your saved clips.
    Hand pointing over "Clips" tab in the My Videos page
  3. Find the clip you want to share and click the ‘Share link’ icon to its right.

  5. The link is now copied to your clipboard. Paste the copied link into an email, message, or LMS post to share with your students or staff.

Assign a clip to your classroom

Alternatively you can assign the clip directly to your classroom.

  1. Navigate to My Videos, find the clip you want to share, and click the ‘Assign’ icon to its right.
    Hand pointing over the "classroom" icon in My Videos page
  2. In the classroom assignment pop-up window, click on ‘Select an existing classroom’.
    'How do you want to share?' pop-up window
  3. Select the classroom where you want to share the clip, and click Next.
  4. You can then choose to add an optional message for students when they receive the shared clip. Then click Assign.
  5. Alternatively you can share the clip via an Open classroom. Read this article for more information on using Open classrooms.

Students can then watch the shared clip when they next sign in to ClickView.
