Goal

After reading this article you'll:
  • understand the benefits of using the Conducttr video service rather than YouTube and others
  • be able to manage your video storage

Summary

Conducttr TeamXp allows video to be added to all relevant channels. Video files can be added by URL or by file upload.

A paid subscription allows up to 25Gb per Space; a free subscription allows up to 100Mb and uploaded videos are encoded with a watermark (doesn't affect videos added by URL).

Conducttr video allows authors and players to upload video directly inside the experience. Videos uploaded via the scenario editor are treated as permanent whereas videos uploaded by players (via the virtual desktop) are temporary. Temporary means that they are erased beyond recovery when the exercise messages are cleared.
