- Click on the ‘Upload Video’ icon to upload your chosen video(s) or select the button to link an externally hosted video using a HLS URL.
4. Above is the pop up for linking an external video, if you choose to upload a video, a pop-up will appear, which will prompt you to locate and select the video you want to upload from your device.
5. Once the upload starts, your video will appear in the library and will enable you to edit details about your video. You can do this by clicking the pencil icon.
6. In the video details page you can :
