Viewing and editing u:stream series

For:  employees

This user guide helps employees to view and edit u:stream series and their details via the u:stream administration.

Note

Changes you make always affect the entire series. Note this especially if several people are authorised to edit a series.

Opening u:stream administration

  1. Access the u:stream administration via the link ustream.univie.ac.at.
  2. Click Login.
  3. You will be automatically redirected to the University of Vienna’s weblogin page. Log in with the userID of your u:account (e.g. doej99) and the corresponding password.

Note

The login is only possible for persons with an active u:account for employees. Students do not have access. u:accounts for guests and personnel not directly employed with the university have to be activated first to be able to access. Please contact the u:stream support for this.

Opening series overview

Select Series from the menu on the left. 

All series for which you have editing rights are listed. These are series that you have registered for u:stream yourself or for which you have been co-authorised. 

The table contains the following entries:

  • Series: series title
  • Created: date when the series was registered for u:stream
