Video Tutorials

Here is a collection of video tutorials, covering a variety of site features and topics. We will continue to produce and update these tutorials as new features are created.

If you don't see a video tutorial that you think we need, email us at [email protected] and we will create one!

Please note that Obsidian Portal has been adapting and upgrading since it's release in 2007. As such, some of these videos may contain sections of material that may no longer look or function as they are presented in the tutorial.

BEGINNER'S GUIDE - ACCOUNT CREATION AND MANAGEMENT

Community and Content Manager Kallak walks new users through the very first steps to create your Obsidian Portal account and log in for the first time. He talks about all the parts of your Profile Page and how to edit them. The demonstration includes avatar picture uploads, location map, time zone, bio, social sign-in options, and email notifications. Membership Plans and Gifting Subscriptions are also covered.
