Adding Audio or Video to a Page
In most cases when uploading a video, you will have to upload it first to Youtube or Vimeo or Carleton’s Media space 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.
Embed Audio or Video from an External Source
First you need to check if the site you want to embed content from is an allowed source. To do this:
1. Click on the title/tab of the page you want to edit.
2. Click the ‘Edit’ icon (pencil) in top right corner to edit that page.
3. Click and hold down the red plus button to drag it onto your page and add a new content block.
4. Click on ‘External Media‘.
5. Copy the URL of the video or the embed code and paste it into the URL or embed code field.
6. Click Save.
