Publish media


By default, the media that you upload is private. If you want other users to view it, you need to publish it in a channel or gallery on your Video Portal. Here's how:

Publish your media only when file conversion is complete, and the media is not waiting for moderation.

You must have permission to publish to Channels and/or Galleries (Categories).  Ask your MediaSpace administrator to give you the required permission.
