 We have given a HTML page which you can use to upload to your own account at Bunny Stream.  It's a simple form where you need to give 3 values: The //Video Library ID//, The //CDN Hostname// and the //API Key//.  [[https://app.geminars.com/uploadBunny.html|Just use this link to upload.]] We have given a HTML page which you can use to upload to your own account at Bunny Stream.  It's a simple form where you need to give 3 values: The //Video Library ID//, The //CDN Hostname// and the //API Key//.  [[https://app.geminars.com/uploadBunny.html|Just use this link to upload.]]

For e.g. You can create a library for all your lectures. Another one for your fun stuff and so on. Each Video Library will have its own //Video Library ID//, The //CDN Hostname// and the //API Key//. These values must be kept secret! We have designed the uploader so that these values //never go to anyone other than BunnyCDN. So you are safe.//

-  * **Step 1 - //At Bunny CDN://** First you need to go to the //Stream// section of Bunny. It's on the left side on the Bunny Dashboard after you login.

If you want to use only one video Library at Bunny Stream, then these values are obtained and used only once. If you have multiple //libraries// at your account at Bunny Stream; then you will need to obtain the correct 3 values from the specific library you want to upload into. 
-  * **Step 2 - //Inside the form://** Once the 3 are set in the form; you can mark the checkbox at the top to retain those values for next time. Please note that your credentials are never sent to us. It remains in your browser.

Please note that your credentials are never sent to us. It remains inside your browser only. So be careful if you are using someone else's computer. You can then drag and drop or pick a video you want to upload to Bunny Stream, and set a //title// and //description// -- and off you go!
  
-//But there is another way to upload to Bunny too!//+//The above was the simplest method to upload to Bunny. However; there is another method to upload to Bunny too!// That uses a a command-line program to upload to Bunny Stream. [[BunnyUploader|Read this page here]] to understand how to use that program.
  
-If you want a command-line program to upload to Bunny Stream, we have that too. [[BunnyUploader|Read this page here]] to understand how to use that program. +//**IMPORTANT**//\\ 
- +After the video is uploaded (using either of the above two methods), Bunny will process it further and that can take even a few minutes -- depends on the size of the video file you had uploaded.

-If you are on a slow Internet connection and/or if your video is quite large; it is possible that you may not be able to upload the video in one sitting.

Not to worry: Both our uploaders support resuming of a previous upload. //Do the same steps as before, and our uploader form and/or our uploadBunny.exe program will intelligently resume from where it had last left off.//

 +====What if the link refuses to play at Geminars?==== 
 +Check the //Security// section of the Video Library you had uploaded the video into.  
 +  * If there is some domain name specified under //Allowed Domains//, make sure that //app.geminars.com// is **//also//** included in that list.

 ====How to locate the HLS link?==== ====How to locate the HLS link?====
-Normally, the above uploader shows the HLS link (.m3u8) at the end of the upload. You can directly copy that link and use that. If you did not get to see that...no worries.

You can directly copy that link and use that. If you did not get to see that...no worries. Read below on how to obtain it from your dashboard at Bunny:
  
 Once Bunny Stream tells you that the video has been completely processed, then click on that video at your Bunny Stream account. On the right hand side you will see a box to copy the HLS link of that file. Click that copy button and come back to your //Geminars// account and create a fresh Geminar using that Link. Once Bunny Stream tells you that the video has been completely processed, then click on that video at your Bunny Stream account.

-====HLS link at Bunny Stream takes a few more minutes====+====REMINDER: HLS link at Bunny Stream takes a few more minutes====
 The HLS would NOT become live till Bunny Stream processes it further after you upload it. Depending on the size of the uploaded video, it can take more than a few minutes -- sometimes, even half an hour or so -- to do the final processing on their website.  The HLS would NOT become live till Bunny Stream processes it further after you upload it.

 So if you create a //Geminar// using the HLS link, do not expect the video to be shown immediately after the uploader did its work on your computer. So if you create a //Geminar// using the HLS link, do not expect the video to be shown immediately after the uploader did its work on your computer.
  
-====What if you do NOT use Windows?==== 
- 
-Not to worry. The same zip file actually has the BUN source code for uploadBunny.exe You can install BUN (A Javascript interpreter) in your computer (Say Mac or Linux) and ask BUN  to run that uploadBunny.ts script But before that you need to install a couple of additional modules into the installed BUN environment by giving this command: 
- 
-  bun add tus-js-client yaml
