VIUTube Challenge Update

We are continuing to see intermittent challenges with accessing and uploading VIUTube media. The service provider has made some modifications to improve performance and access. Users may experience further intermittent challenges while these modifications are being finalized.

Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions, please contact learnsupport@viu.ca

VIUTube Service Interruption

VIUTube experienced an issue with new media uploads over the weekend. Media uploaded on Sunday March 21st and the morning of Monday March 22nd may not appear in My Media. Our service provider has investigated and applied a fix to restore service. They are continuing to monitor the system in case of further issues.

New media uploads should be accessible in My Media. As a precaution when uploading media content, please use the Go to Media link and copy your media URL before navigating away. As long as you have the URL for your media, you should be able to view and share as normal. If you uploaded media during that time and do not have the media URL, we recommend re-uploading your media.

If you have any questions, please contact learnsupport@viu.ca
