Uploading content

Images, video, PDFs and embeds: what each route does, and where deleted content goes.

Open Content. Two buttons add media:

  • Add Content: upload an image, video or PDF directly. Images up to 25 MB, video up to 100 MB; see Content requirements below.
  • PDFs: pick a PDF under Add Content and each page is turned into a slide, then collected into a playlist named after the file. Up to 50 pages. The conversion runs in your browser, so only the page images are uploaded, never the PDF itself. Uploads are paced to stay under the server’s rate limit, so a document longer than ~19 pages pauses roughly a minute between batches; keep the tab open until it finishes.
  • Add Embed: paste a YouTube, Vimeo, Google Slides, Google Calendar, or general web URL. A Google Calendar link is turned into a chromeless agenda board automatically, so paste the calendar’s public address rather than hunting for an embed code. Some sites refuse to be displayed inside another page; the player shows a message when content doesn't load, which covers both a refusal and a site that is simply too slow.

Templates are managed separately: build a reusable design under Templates, fill in its variables to create an instance, then add that instance to a playlist like any other content item.

Deleted content stays in Trash for 30 days and can be restored. After 30 days, files are removed for good and can't be recovered.
