First Attempt at UStream

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/15461814


This is my first attempt at trying to link a UStream video onto my blog. Hopefully, it'll be a successful effort. I'll talk more about it as it goes on.

Evidently, the link has proven to be successful. As such, I can now discuss how to properly acquire both a UStream account as well as how to provide views of that video through a personal blog.

To begin, you must go to the web address of www.ustream.tv; there you will be able to click on Sign Up near the upper right hand corner of the page. The sign up process is clear and simple to understand or follow. Once you have an account established, you can add an app to both your iPad and iPhone (these apps will prove highly useful in the following steps).

After you have uploaded the app onto your iPad, you can select the choice to Record a Video. Using this function, you can begin to record any type of content you wish to display for either private or public purposes; once you finish recording press the Upload button on the screen.

Afterward, log in to your UStream account once again and under Manage Channel (on the left sidebar), select the option of Your Videos - the video you have just recorded should now be visible on your laptop. In order to create and post a link on your blog, simply choose the Public option above your video - you can choose the Private option, but I have found that when the link is clicked, the video will never fully load. Now click on your video and Copy the URL which appears when the video is playing.

All that is left is to go to your blog account and Paste that link onto the text box of your post. Hit the Publish Post button and when you visit your blog, you will have a workable link to your UStream video.

The steps seem a little involved, but they are quite simple once you begin working with the software. Good luck!
