Click here to check the upload status of your video. After confirming the upload, you can track its progress using the green bar below the file name. Once the upload is complete, the video will go through an optimization process that automatically adjusts the resolution and format to ensure the best quality and delivery speed for your students. You’ll know the upload is complete, and the video is being processed when the green progress bar changes to a gray loading icon next to the file name. When the process is finished, a green check icon will appear, indicating that the optimization was successfully completed. At that point, the video will be integrated into your Video Library and ready to be added to your products. Important: Processing time may vary depending on the size and number of files you’ve uploaded. You don’t need to stay connected to the platform during this time. Once the upload is complete, you can close the screen or log out, and the processing will continue in the background.
