The Moody Medical Library's Academic Technology Center (ATC) administers the streaming media server software and the placement of video and audio files on the server.
The streaming media server is an experimental, campus-wide resource to gain experience with the processes involved in adding audio and video elements into instructional activities. The license allows 25 simultaneous streams and is not suited for large groups. Any faculty member or staff member with an educational mission may request the placement of video and audio files on the streaming media server.

Please read on about the Streaming Media Server Policy.
