Preparation, Access Rights and Publication

Overview

All livestream managers are automatically also recording managers, as every livestream is recorded by the system.

If you only conduct one livestream per semester, we will be happy to take care of the preparation and publication for you - on a best-effort basis.

Preparation

The livestream can be ordered using the application form. Select
«Livestreaming of the event, including recording (podcast optional)».

As soon as the live streams have been scheduled by MELS, we will get back to you. As the person responsible for the live streams, please then check that they have been scheduled correctly:

Please make the following adjustments:

  • Configure access rights
  • Edit metadata
  • Deactivate the comment function if necessary (activated by default)

Depending on the type of publication (see below), these adjustments are made in OLAT or in Switch Cast Mediaspace.

Access Rights

Default settings

By default, access to a live stream is set to ‘Private’ and is therefore not published. When publishing in OLAT or Mediaspace, please note that extending access may have implications for the handling of copyright-protected material. For example: if a recording is published in a Mediaspace channel with ‘UZH members’ access, third-party material in presentations may no longer be considered part of a closed course.

In OLAT

As a course administrator, you can use the Member Management tool and the Kaltura module in OLAT to control who has access to the integrated live streams.

In Switch Cast Mediaspace

If you are not using OLAT, set the access rights directly in Mediaspace. We recommend that you always assign live streams to a channel and control access via an existing or new channel. Further information and options can be found via the following link.

Publication

You can publish your livestream in various ways:
