Aside from live streaming, you can also upload recorded videos to your sessions. You can upload MP4 or MOV files up to 5GB.
Go to Agenda & Speakers
Click + Add a Session
Enter your session title
Select your Session Type (Main Stage or Regular)
Enter your session date and time
On Stream Provider, select Direct Upload
Click Browse and select the file from your computer
Wait for your video to upload successfully. You will know if it's uploaded if you see the Preview button.
Note:
Depending on the size of your file, allow additional time for Accelevents to process the video file before it is available for preview. This can take as long as the duration of your video.
A recorded video can only be uploaded to the Main Stage or Regular session type.
If an attendee leaves the session and returns, it will resume playing from the timestamp when the attendee leaves.
Adding Caption Files to Your Uploaded Video
Once your direct upload completes, a field to upload a caption file will appear. If you want to add caption files to your video like .srt or .vtt to your direct upload, you can do so.
On Stream Provider, scroll to Caption file upload.
Click Browse and select the file from your computer.
Note:
You can only see the caption file field if a video is already in place. Without a video, that field will not appear.
If you want to create your own .vtt file, you can check out this link.
For MP4 video format, .srt and .vtt works. For other video formats, .srt works.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have a combination of live and recorded video in 1 session?
In this case, the direct upload feature cannot be used as it will only allow you to have a pre-recorded video for your session.
The best way to share the pre-recorded video is by clicking the share option from the studio and selecting "Share a Video" and then selecting the video file from your device. Click here to learn more on how to share a video.
