Submit a Video Assignment Using a OneDrive Link

Once you have a recorded video, there will be three parts to the submission process. First, you’ll upload your video to OneDrive. Second, you will get a shareable link to that video file. Third, you will put that link into your Blackboard assignment and submit the assignment.

01. Upload Your File to OneDrive

1. Log into Detroit Mercy’s Office 365 by going to https://portal.office.com

2. Select the OneDrive (cloud icon) from the list on the left side of your screen.

3. At the top of the screen, click the UPLOAD button and choose FILES to open the file browser.

File Upload selection highlighted

4. In the file browser, locate and select the file you wish to upload, then click OPEN. This will upload your video. Depending on the file size and your internet connection, the upload process may take some time.

02. Get a Shareable Link
