ClickView LinkStart
ClickView LinkStart (formerly WebStart) is a ClickView feature which allows staff and students to directly access videos and resources via simple URLs.
ClickView LinkStart allows you to insert direct links to ClickView content into e-learning portals, intranet pages and your library cataloguing software. Thus you can easily integrate video into your existing learning tools, whilst utilising the power of the ClickView platform.
Setting up ClickView LinkStart
It only takes 3 simple steps to insert a ClickView LinkStart URL into your webpage:
1. Open the ClickView Player and select the video you intend your students to watch.
2. Right-click on this video, select 'Generate ClickView LinkStart URL'.
3. Copy and Paste the URL into an intranet webpage, e-learning portal, or library cataloguing software.
If you would like to test the video before placing the URL into your webpage, simply click on "Go To URL".
NOTE: The ClickView LinkStart menu is only available from ClickView Player 1.3.1 and above, and only to teachers and staff with authorisation to access the 'Teacher Tools' section in the ClickView Player.
