5. Once you’ve found the content you’d like to embed in Aula, click on its title to bring up a preview. With the preview visible in the content block, this specific content is what others will see when they access the page or post after you save or publish.
6. Hit Publish.
Note
There are limits to using Planet eStream for free. Check with your institution whether they have a licence.
- When viewing an embedded video using the Aula mobile app, the video will open in a new browser window, this is by design using the LTI (learning tools interoperability) integration with Planet eStream. On desktop, you will be able to view the embedded video directly.
- Limitation: If videos from Planet eStream have been migrated from another space, a limitation causes some users to be unable to access them. In that case, you will need to delete and re-add the videos. As a best practice, we would recommend deleting and re-adding Planet eStream videos before starting a new space.
