Uploading Videos to Google Drive

Quick Guide
a) Press the + sign to add a fi le
b) Select USE CAMERA and switch selector to VIDEO
c) When done recording, press USE VIDEO.
Note: You can also record from the Camera app and then use the + in the
app to upload the fi le.
Smartphone or Tablet Instructions
Most check-off videos are recorded using smartphones, tablets, or laptops. A ten minute video will
be too large to email or submit as a fi le via UTCLearn. You should instead upload to a site such as
Google Drive and then share a link with faculty in UTCLearn.
The Google Drive App (free from the
Appstore for iOS or Google Play on
Android) makes uploading your video
easier. Be sure to log in with your
[email protected] account, which has
free unlimited storage.
Initiate Recording from
Google Drive App
Another option is to record directly from
a Windows 10 laptop or desktop with
webcam (use the built-in Camera app).
Macs can use Quicktime. Once the video
is saved to your computer, log into https://
drive.google.com to upload the fi le and set
the sharing so that anyone with the link can
see it.

B) Locate your video (use search bar at top if needed), then right-click on the video and
choose SHARE.

D) Select ANYONE WITH THE LINK. Do not select “The University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga.” Do not enter email addresses.

a
b
Right-click on the fi le or folder that you wish to share. If not on the web, right-click and
select Google Drive (NOT “Share With” which works differently). On a Mac, right-click and
choose “Share Using Google Drive.”
Click ADVANCED (lower right) to share with others without requiring them to log into
a Google account. This is the most reliable way to share.
Click CHANGE under “who has access.”
Sharing (with illustrations)
The process to share is similar whether you do it via the web at drive.google.com or on your
desktop computer. Use a computer (not a phone) to set sharing permissions.
Hint: if you want to
share a collection of fi les
(photos, for example)
put them in a folder and
share the folder rather
than sharing each photo
individually.
DO NOT enter email addresses to
share with UTC faculty. Instead,
always set the sharing with by clicking
“Advanced” and copy/pasting the link
into your own email message, NOT
one generated by Google.
This is the address
you will want to copy/
paste to share. It will be
highlighed. Press Ctrl
+ C to copy, then paste
with Ctrol +V in email,
Blackboard, etc.
Again, DO NOT use the
“invite people” option to
share with UTC faculty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recipients say they don’t have access? Double-check that your sharing settings are set
to “anyone with the link can view” (or “can edit”) and that you copied/pasted the link into
your own email, not the invitation generated by Google Drive.
Select “Anyone with the link” so that no login will be required. Don’t
forget to click SAVE.
e
Copy/Paste the link from the “Sharing Settings” page which will appear
with the link already highlighted to distribute. Using copy/paste to generate
your own email is the most reliable way to distribute the link without requiring
the recipient to have a Google account.
IMPORTANT: Always
use “ANYONE WITH
THE LINK” for sharing
with faculty. DO NOT
USE “anyone at UTC” or
“specifi c people” to share
with faculty because
those options work
only for gmail accounts
and UTC faculty email
typically do not use
gmail.
Typically “can view”
access is adequate.
