About
The Media Gallery acts as a dedicated video library for each course where users can view media assigned to the course. Only users enrolled in that course will be able to view the content added to its Media Gallery.
Administrators and course instructors can customize the appearance and settings of the Media Gallery by choosing Configure from the Actions menu.
The instructions below are for Theming users. If you don't have Theming enabled on your account, please refer to our article 'Media Gallery'.
