Share Media in TRACS
In TRACS, you can use Resources, Learning Modules, and Lessons tools to share media, or a playlist. Below is our three step process for sharing your media.
Step 1: Choose how to share your content.
Step 2: Select where you would like to share your content.
Step 3: Share content in your desired location.
Step 1: Choose how to share your content
There are two ways to share your media:
A permalink allows you to share content with others by providing a link directly to a media item. This is great for email, text documents, and social media.
An embed code displays a video inline on a page. This is great for Lessons, Learning Modules, or Resources in TRACS.
