At Heritage, we use myHeritage (Populi) to publish our course content. For your course, this can be done from the Lessons tab.
This article represents a summary of how to upload multimedia (video or audio) to your course. Populi has published a more detailed article on this topic called How to embed audio, video, and other kinds of files in a lesson. Feel free to check it out for more info.
Upload them from your computer
- Click the Add a Lesson button or open an existing lesson.
- Click the Design tab to open the design view.
- Choose to Add a Section and click File.
- Drag and drop the file from your computer into the area that says Drag & Drop.
- Once the video file is uploaded, click Save. If this is a video file, the size is likely huge, so be patient.
- There are other options in this view like marking a file as required.
- When you save the file, Populi kicks off an encoding process (much like YouTube’s encoding) to get it ready for multiple device types.
Upload them directly from your phone or tablet
If you’ve recorded your file on a smartphone or tablet, you can upload them directly to myHeritage.
