You need to have a LectureTube series to use the upload function of LectureTube Studio. If you do not have a series for your course, first create one via TISS. To create a series, navigate to the "Course Administration" in TISS and under "Announcement" of the course, click on the tab "E-Learning. In the section "LectureTube", you can create the series for your course and set its visibility.

If there is no TISS page for your event, you can click on the "LectureTube" entry in the left menu of your TUWEL course and create a series there. Be aware that you cannot schedule recordings in the lecture hall for this series yourself.

  1. You can access the studio via studio.tuwien.ac.at or through the TUWEL course of your lecture.
    To open it through TUWEL, click in your course on "More" and "LectureTube" to get to your video overview. Then, use the "Record video" button (Figure 0) to access the LectureTube Studio.
