Overview
There are two ways to upload Vidyard videos: (i) from your 3Play Media account or (ii) directly from your Vidyard account. This article explains the latter- using tagged-based auto upload to submit captioning requests directly from within Vidyard.
After your Vidyard account has been linked with your 3Play Media account (a one time process), you can upload files to 3Play Media directly from your Vidyard account (without logging into your 3Play Media account). By tagging videos in your Vidyard account with the tag 3play_standard, 3Play Media will know to automatically upload those videos for processing.
- Different turnaround service levels can be assigned by applying a variation of the 3play_ tag as detailed in Step 5.
- Videos can be tagged for Standard, Rush, Expedited, Same Day, and Extended turnaround service levels.
- You will receive notification emails confirming successful uploads.
Please note that to submit captioning requests using tag based auto upload from your Vidyard account, this integration feature must be set to ON within your 3Play Media's linked account settings. If this feature was not enabled when the accounts were linked navigate to Upload > Linked Account > Select your linked Vidyard account > Settings. Once set to ON click Update.
