This article is for students, faculty, and staff who wish to upload a video to Stream.
Adding a video to your channel allows others to view, like, and comment on it. Any person can upload a video to it. Videos are often uploaded to a channel, and this assumes that the channel is already created. For more instructions on how to create a channel, see Creating a Channel.
