The ITS Team will be performing maintenance on Confluence beginning at 6:00 pm Tuesday, October 8. During this time the service may go offline. It should be available again by 8:00 pm. Please refrain from editing pages during this time to avoid losing your work.
Link to a Resource
The Audio-Video resource includes the video and any associated metadata, like descriptions and transcripts. To link to a resource in Mandala:
- Open the resource or collection you want to share
- Learn more with Search Audio-Video
- Copy the URL in your browser's address bar
- This URL links directly to the resource or collection
- It looks something like https://audio-video.shanti.virginia.edu/audio/my-audio-file
This works for private and public resources. If your resource is private, however, make sure that your viewers are members of the right collection. Members need to sign in to see the resource.
Link to Media Only
If you want to link to only the media file – without associated metadata or transcripts – follow these steps:
- Open the audio or video resource you want to share
- Learn more with Search Audio-Video
- Click the Share icon in the toolbar on the media file
Sharing options will appear overlapping the video
- Click the top link
A timestamp option will open
- Fill in the time at which you want the video to start
This field is optional
- Copy the link
- This link will take viewers directly to the media file
Embed Media
If you want to embed only the media file into your website, you can use an iframe. Follow these steps:
- Open the audio or video resource you want to share
- Learn more with Search Audio-Video
- Click the Share icon in the toolbar on the media file
Sharing options will appear overlapping the media
- Copy the iframe code in the bottom field
- You can use this code to embed the media into your website
