4. File Upload


Once you have created a video file it is time to upload it to My Media. As video files can be large the time taken to upload will be greatly affected by your internet connection. Your video does not have to be high quality, so if you have a slower connection or a large file consider reducing the file size. See File too big to upload for details.


Please note embedded videos cannot be deleted by the user.
