Upload a Video to Your Media

If you have a video you want to use for a live or on-demand event, you can to upload it to your Media as an encoder video, web video, or saved video. 

The Library tab is the location for your stored videos when you subscribe to Resi’s Content Library. Each video will have an embed code and stream URLs you can use to create an on-demand event when/where you want and the videos will be stored indefinitely. To learn more about the Content Library, see Resi Content Library.

File Requirements

Below are the file requirements your video needs to meet to upload it to Studio.

You can edit your video to fit within Studio’s file requirements by using video transcoding software such as HandBrake (free) or Adobe Premiere Pro. To learn more about exporting a video for use in Resi, see Export or Convert Your Video for Use with Resi.
