MediaPlus is ASU’s multimedia hosting and distribution platform, built in partnership with Amazon Web Services. Faculty and staff users may upload an unlimited number of audio and video content to MediaPlus and share it with others directly, or embed content into another location such as a Canvas course. 

Student Workers are eligible for access to MediaPlus with permission from their ASU Faculty or Staff supervisor. Content uploaded by students must be directly related to their job duties at ASU, as assigned by their ASU Faculty or Staff supervisor. Uploading content for any other purpose (including academic work) is strictly prohibited.

**If you do not have an existing MediaPlus account, please submit a request for one in order to be able to log into the site.**

Individual media can be shared via direct link and embed code for others to view openly. Changes made to individual media via the “Edit” options will also be visible wherever the content is shared. Viewers will be unable to make changes to media content. Additionally, owners of media can grant access to other users within MediaPlus to edit specific items if desired. 

Owners may also transfer ownership of individual media to another user within MediaPlus, however please keep in mind: once ownership has been transferred, you will no longer be able to access the item in MediaPlus. To obtain access to a piece of content after transferring ownership, the new owner must either grant your username shared access to the content, or transfer ownership of the content back to you. Therefore, change ownership cautiously and only when necessary.

Collections are private folders of media content and can only be shared with other individual users within MediaPlus by adding their usernames. Users added to a collection will be able to make changes to the collection and media as desired.

Playlists provide faculty or staff with the ability to distribute content to their audience as an ordered list of media though a single playback experience. Viewers will be able to play through the content in the order the faculty or staff has selected, or they may arbitrarily select individual items to play from the list. A given piece of media can be included in many different playlists, however, that piece of media itself is never duplicated. If the piece of media is deleted, it will no longer appear in any of the playlists it was a part of.

As videos are uploaded  to MediaPlus, ensure the videos are organized through the use of collections.Think of a collection as a personal and private folder of a set items. Unlike playlists, it cannot be distributed to viewers. Collections are available to conveniently organize media into customizable groupings. They could be used for things such as courses, projects, or any other means. Items in a collection can be placed in a desired order simply for convenience.  

Please Note:

A given piece of media can be included in many different collections, however that piece of media itself is never duplicated. If the piece of media is deleted from the MediaPlus account, it will no longer appear in any of the collections it was a part of.

Captions in the .VTT format may be attached to each of your uploads in MediaPlus to enable closed captioning for viewers. Be sure your captions are in the .VTT format to properly appear. Additionally, you may download any caption files that are currently attached to the piece of media.
