Channels & Galleries
Another way to organize and share your media is by creating a Channel or a Gallery for it. You simply need to copy the url associated with it and send it to your audience.
A gallery will function as a category on the WashU MediaSpace site. It will appear as a tab on the page’s main header and can only be created by an admin on an as-needed basis. For more information on galleries, please email us at edtechtools@wustl.edu.
A channel is a collection of content curated by a subset of users. Channels can be created by any users by following these steps:
- Click on your name on the top right corner of the screen and click on My Channels.
- Click on “Create Channel”:
- Fill out the required information and then hit save.
Make sure to pick a privacy level that matches your needs.
You can add users to your channel either to share the content with a specific set of users or to give them different permissions on content management within the channel. To add users to your channel:
- Go to My Channels, hover over the desired channel and click on the edit (pencil) icon:
- Go to the Users tab and then click on “Add Users”:
- Type in the member username, pick a role for them and then hit add:
↳ Member: View channel content only.
↳ Contributor: View channel content and add media to the channel.
↳ Moderator: View channel content, add media to the channel, and moderate channel content.
