Adding Audio or Video to a Page

In most cases when uploading a video, you will have to upload it first to Carleton’s Mediaspace or Youtube and then embed it as external media into cuPortfolio.

When the file sizes are small, namely for shorter audio files, it can be uploaded directly from your computer.

3. Click and hold down the red plus button to drag it onto your page.
4. Click External Media.
5. Copy the URL or embed code of the media item and paste it into the ‘URL or embed code’ field.
6. Click Save.
