If you continue to have trouble, you may want to ask a friend to help confirm the code being displayed.

How do I find my uploaded videos?

In the upper right corner of most pages, you'll find a line of links to all of your stuff: videos, favorites, inbox, and subscriptions.

If you're on a page that doesn't have this bar (such as a video watch page), you can get to your videos by clicking the "My Account" link at the top of the page and then clicking the "My Uploaded Videos" link.

Or you can go directly to your videos.

Can I download videos to watch later?

No, currently you can't download our videos to your computer. SkyeCAST's video player is designed to be used within your browser as an Internet experience. As an alternative to downloading, you can temporarily save videos to watch later by adding them to your QuickList. If you'd like to save them more permanently, login and click "Save to Favorites" under the videos you'd like to keep.

How do I watch and save videos?

Watching videos on SkyeCAST couldn't be easier—just come to the site and browse around, or search for subjects that interest you. To save videos permanently, you need to sign up as a member, and then click the "Save to Favorites" link underneath the videos you want to watch later.

How do I share videos?

Sharing a video is simple—just click on the "Share" button at the bottom of the video player, and enter the email addresses (or SkyeCAST usernames, if you're logged in) of the people to whom you want to send it. Click the "Send" button, and you're all done!

How do I make my video private?

If you’d like to make sure your video(s) are seen only by the people you hand-pick, you should set your video to “Private”. Here’s how:

  1. Log in and go to “My Videos”.
  2. Click the “Edit Video Info” button beside the video in question.
  3. Scroll down to the Broadcast section and select the “Private” option.
  4. Be sure to then select the specific contact list you want to see the video.
  5. If a list is too large, select the individuals with whom you'd like to share the video.
  6. When using lists, always double-check to be sure the contact list you select includes only the people you want to see that video. Check your Contact Lists.
  7. Click the “Update Video Info” button.
