There are a number of areas where you can add images and videos in eduMe. Read on to find out what file types we accept, size and format restrictions and best practice guidance.
What's Covered

Uploading videos
Video's can be uploaded directly to the group video library by admins, as well as users' with access to an upload link or QR code, directly from a mobile device.
📹 Videos uploaded will only be available within the group and won't be available across other group video libraries.
To upload videos directly from the editor to a course or guide, first ensure you are within a video slide and then:
- Click on Add video -> Upload a file in the right side editor panel
- Click Add video or drag and drop the file
- Done - your video will now be available in the group video library
To allow other users with no admin rights to upload video files, repeat the first step above and then:
- Click Media upload under Media upload tools
- Select to either share access via downloadable .pdf QR code or a shareable link
- Once shared, users will be able to upload videos directly to the group library

Tip! You'll also see a quick link to Unsplash in the sidebar. This is a great website that we recommend for high-quality, royalty-free imagery
