How do I connect a downloaded video to my timetable?
In order to allow The Hive to link to files stored locally on your computer, you must install a third-party browser extension for Google Chrome that can do this.
There is more information about this in the Consent Information screen within the Links page.
If you do not use Google Chrome with this extension installed, you will not be able to open files that are on your computer directly from The Hive.
- Press on Content from the left-hand side menu.
- To filter your content, click the arrow next to the 'Content' label to expand the options.
- Click on Links to see all your links.
- While you can't upload videos directly, you can use the "Link" option to share your resources. Click on "Create Item" and choose "Link".
