Warpwire (Create and embed videos in Sakai)
Warpwire is a streamlined, easy-to-use tool that allows instructors to quickly create and display videos in their Sakai courses.
- After an instructor adds the Warpwire tool to their Sakai course, their course is assigned its own "Media Library".
- In the Sakai Text Editor, such as in Lessons, instructors can click on the Warpwire icon on the Text Editor toolbar, create a video, and display their video to their students. The video is stored in the course Media Library.

Recommendations for Instructors
Warpwire is a powerful video creation tool for embedding your videos in Sakai; but you must follow our recommendations to display your videos correctly to your students. Also, we recommend that you NOT use Warpwire to store images and do NOT use the tool to create audio files. We've explained why below!
- Video: We strongly recommend that you EMBED Warpwire videos in Sakai; do NOT "link" to them. Why?
- Embedded videos in Lessons will be imported and will display to students in other classes; imported links to Warpwire videos will not work for students.
- If you embed videos in tools other than Lessons, after import, you'll need to update the embedded video "links". After import, only Warpwire videos embedded in Lessons are displayed to students.
- Images: Even though Warpwire allows you to upload images to your Media Library, we recommend using Sakai's image button rather than Warpwire to insert (embed) your images in Sakai. Why?
- In Sakai, you can add alt text to your images. In Warpwire, you can NOT add alt text to images. Right now, Sakai images can be made accessible; your Warpwire images can not.
- Audio: Both Warpwire and Sakai have pros and cons related to creating, embedding and copying audio files.
- Please see details in Warpwire and Sakai Audio Recommendations.
- Email: Due to the nature of emails, do not embed (display or link) videos in your Sakai emails (or any emails).
- Live Broadcast: Warpwire's Live Broadcast feature is not supported at this time.
