Once you've installed Vidello and logged in, you need to connect it with your AWS account.
Why AWS?
Amazon AWS is one of the biggest & best storage & content-distributing platforms online.
Why do I need to connect with AWS?
By connecting Vidello with AWS, every time you upload a video into Vidello, we send it directly to your AWS account, so all your videos are hosted on your end, keeping costs low & allowing you to be fully in control of your content.
In case you have an existing AWS account, you can LOG IN HERE
1) If you are starting from scratch, then fill in your details.
You will then receive a verification email (check your spam folder as well).
In the next steps, AWS will require details about you.
2) Then, AWS will ask you to select a support plan. Pick up "Basic support - Free".
Complete the process and click on "Go to AWS" button
3) Sign in as a ROOT USER
4) Click "IAM"
5) Go to "Policies"
6) Click "Create policy"
7)
Now, you need to click on "JSON" tab. Delete whatever you can see there.
Then copy and paste there the following code:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Vidello",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"cloudfront:*",
"s3:*",
"ec2:DescribeRegions",
"acm:*"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
Click on the blue button at the bottom right corner,
"Next: Tags"
In the next screen, click on "Next Review"
8)
Give this policy a name, for example, vidello-policy or whatever you prefer and click on "Create policy"
9)
Great!
Now, you need to create a user. Simply click on "Users"
10)
Click "Add users"
11)
Write there any user name you like, for example "vidello" or "jack vidello" and click on "Next"
12)
We need to attach the policy to the user we created.
Click on "Attach policies directly" > in the search box, type in the name of the user you just created "vidello" > click on "Checkbox" > click on the "Next" button
13) Then, click on "Create user" button
14) Almost there!
In the search bar, type your username. If you have just a single one, then click on it
15) Click on "Security credentials"
16) Scroll down until you find a box called "Access keys" and click on "Create access key" button
17) Select "Other" and click on the orange "Next" button
In the next screen, click on "Create access key" (no need to fill up any details)
18) Now, click on "Download .csv file"
19) After creating your first profile, or any new profiles, you need to import this .csv file.
