Create Media Types & Templates

Create a template-based presentation file management which will control how many files and which file types can be uploaded for a presentation. This will also enable tracking to see if the upload for each file is complete.​

Process Overview: Steps 1-3

Create a template-based presentation file management which will control how many files and which file types can be uploaded for a presentation. This will also enable tracking to see if the upload for each file is complete.​


Step 1

Go to Settings > Media Items. Select Create a New Media Type

Here we’re creating all the media types for the various file upload needs for your specific meeting (e.g., PDFs, presentations, handouts)​

– Create a Media type name (e.g., Live PPTX Presentation)​
– Check the box if you are allowing multiple files​
– Choose an icon for your media upload that is shown in the Portal​
– Choose and set File Types allowed from PPTX, PDF, MP4, MP3, and IMG
– The Conversion Success flag provides more information about the file and how it was converted on the Presentation Dashboard (e.g., PPTX file set to PDF)​


Step 2

– Go to Settings > Templates > Add New Template
– Use one or more of the media types you created in step 1 to create a template
– For example, let’s create the template: Oral Presentation with handout
– Save when finished


Step 3

The Presenter logs in to the Portal and selects Presentations

– Uploads required file type(s)
– View if a file has been uploaded successfully and can preview, download, or delete
– The uploaded file size will also display
