How do I copy a video or audio file in My Media?
You can use the editing tools in My Media to copy a video or audio file.
Creating a copy of a file will allow you to:
- Schedule each copy to be available to viewers at different dates,
- Or use a separate copy of a video quiz in each course so submissions for each course can be viewed separately.
Note: Images and YouTube videos cannot be copied.
Go to My Media.

Select My Media from your Global Navigation Menu.
