  What is the web address of the
unitedstreaming Webpage? |

| What is the web address to the

| How do I get access to the unitedstreaming
website? |
| Media
Specialists have been given admin rights to create
user id's and passwords for their staff to access
the site. |
| Can my students have a unitedstreaming
account? |
| If
you would like students to access videos, you
can create online quizzes. The quiz builder and
assignment builder features are located in the
teacher center. These tools allow teachers to
create online instructional materials for student
use. |
| I have forgotten my unitedstreaming
password? |
| See
your schools Media Specialist, User Support Specialist
or call the Help Desk (301-517-5800) |
| What is the best way to access
and play videos at school? |
| You
can stream videos during planning time to preview
them. If you want to show the video to your students,
click on the download later icon. The video will
be downloaded to your local school server overnight.
The next day, you will still log into unitedstreaming,
but the video will play from the local school
server. |
| Can I use the download later feature
at home? |
| Yes, you can now use the download later
icon at home and access the video the next day
from your local school server. |
| I want to burn videos to a CD or
use them in a powerpoint. How do I save them from
the unitedstreaming website? |
| Teachers
can use the download icon to save videos in My
Documents. However, due to bandwidth issues, the
download icon is restricted from 9 am to 3 pm
during the school day. You can download before
and after school. To download a video, right click
on the download icon and choose "Save Target
As" and save the video into a folder in My
Documents. When saving the file we suggest you
shorten the file name and keep the file extension
in order to speed up the download process. Please
note video files are large and take up a lot of
space. You may need to burn them onto a CD and
delete them from My Documents quite often to avoid
running out of space. |
| How do I know what has been downloaded/stored
on the unitedstreaming server at my school? |
| Log
into www.unitedstreaming.com
and click on My Content and then click on the
Network Manager tab. You will see a list of videos
that have been downloaded to your school's server. |
| I think my school's unitedstreaming
server is down. Who should I call |
| Contact
your school User Support Specialist (USS) first.
If your USS is unable to resolve the problem they
should contact the Help Desk (301-517-5800). |
| I have transferred to another school.
Since the move I can download videos but they
are not appearing on my school's unitedstreaming
server. What is causing this? |
| When
you transferred you were not moved to your new
school correctly. Call the Help Desk and ask them
to "shuffle" you to your new school
in the unitedstreaming webpage. |
