A video can contain multiple video files. If you upload multiple video files to a video, you can then choose which file will be used for playback in the video player page.
Adding a Video File
If you’ve already uploaded a video and want to add more files to it, follow the steps below.
- In the video management screen, click the Videos tab.
- Click Add Video Asset.
The maximum file size is 20GB. Supported file types for upload include AVI, FLV, MKV, MP4, MOV, MPEG, MPG, M2TS, , M4V, TS, and WMV.
- In the Upload Video window that appears, you can either:
- Drag-and-drop the file into the window.
- OR

A progress bar appears in the Upload Video window to show the progress of the file upload.
After the file has uploaded, you can then navigate away from this screen. Your platform is processing the file to prepare it for viewing — this may take a while depending on the file size. Return to the Library to check on the status of the video.
