The Ensemble Video Chooser makes uploading, recording, and adding video to Brightspace by D2L easy for educators who want to use video as part of their course. The Ensemble Video Chooser simplifies life for everyone on campus because all the media is stored and streamed from Ensemble Video, so file size restrictions and encoding issues are no longer an issue.
