4. Drag and drop your file into the space provided, or select the video you want to upload from your device.

Take note of the file size — smaller files upload faster and load more smoothly for learners. The recommended file size for videos is 500MB or below. Any file size higher than this may need to be compressed first before uploading. 

5. You can also upload subtitles for the video in .vtt format. Click on CHANGE below subtitles to add one.

You can adjust the font size of the subtitles using the scrubber.

The video description appears below the video on the learner's portal.

6. Enter a name or title for the video.

Click the image icon or the Add Image button to change the video thumbnail.

The save button will only be clickable once the video has finished uploading. Make sure to wait until the video at the top of this page allows playback.
