How do I upload or embed images and videos?

Updated by Carolina Martin

You add images and videos with the Images and Videos blocks. In the course editor, click + Add block and choose one from the Multimedia column.

Add block panel with the Text, Interactions, Assessments and Multimedia columns, with the Multimedia column outlined

Images

The Images window has three tabs:

  • Stock Images: search for a topic and add a stock photo.

  • Upload Image: drag and drop your own image, or click Select Files.

  • AI Image: describe the image you want and click Generate. Each image uses an AI image credit (see AI Credits Explained).

Videos

The Videos window has four tabs:

  • AI Video: an avatar presents a script written from your page content.

  • Video Upload: upload your own MP4 video.

  • Video Link: paste a YouTube, Vimeo or Loom link.

  • From Presentation: turn a PDF slide deck into a narrated video.

For step-by-step instructions and screenshots for each option, including Force Completion and adding several images or videos to one block, see Add Multimedia.

Add images and videos when you create a course

When you create a course with AI, the Media options in Auto setup choose whether the AI keeps the images in your files (Extract images from files), creates new images (Generate AI images) and adds YouTube videos to your pages. See Course Setup.

File size limits

Each plan has a maximum size per file. The limits are listed under Compare plans → Hosting on the pricing page. If a video is too large, compress it, or host it on YouTube, Vimeo or Loom and add it with Video Link.
