Adding Video

You can add videos to the knowbly Content Manager in two ways:

1. You can link to a streaming video file (hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, Kaltura, or Wistia).
2. You can upload local video files for storage in the Content Manager.

Please see below for some considerations when adding video:

• Using Video in Widgets
• Using Video in Courses
• File Size

To get started, click the menu button in the top left of your screen and then select Content to access the Content Manager.

From the Content Manager, click the + New button and select Assets from the drop-down list.

To upload video, you can

• Choose a file from your computer, then drag-and-drop to load.
• Click to search browse and select files from your computer. 
• Upload via URL.

Considerations

Using Video in Widgets

• If you are using video in a widget and planning to publish using an embed code you must add video using a streaming video file (hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, Kaltura, or Wistia)
  • If you use an uploaded video in a widget, the application will provide you with a warning and recommend using a streaming service.
  • If you try to publish a widget with uploaded video using the embed code, you will not be able to proceed and will see this error "Embed outputs disabled when using uploaded videos."
• If you are using a video in a widget and planning to download a web standard or scorm package you can use either a hosted video file OR an uploaded video.

Using Video in Courses

Courses are always downloaded as a package and therefore have no limitation. You may use a streaming video or an uploaded video file. 

File Size

Individual file size limitation is 2GB max per file. If your file is too large, a warning message will display.
