Not every video needs to be watched from the very beginning all the way to the very end, and this is where the Clips feature can be very handy. This feature will allow both students and teachers to cut and extract part of a video which they can share and view without all the unnecessary parts.
Accessing the Clipping Function
The clipping function can be accessed in two separate ways, either via the options menu next to the video title as displayed below:
Or via the navigation bar that is underneath the web player when playing a video, as displayed in the image below:
Creating a Clip

Once you have selected the section you want to clip, click the 'Next" button. - A new window will then pop up, and this is where you will fill out the name and description of the clip. Once the fields have been filled, click the "Create clip" button:
