Upload+Media

In order to upload media to Wikispaces, first check the size of the file you wish to upload. Wikispaces has a 20MB limit on the Plus plan (the free educator plan) or 10MB on the Basic Plan. For a video file, this is pretty minimal. You may want to consider using another media uploading site like YouTube, TeacherTube, Vimeo, or MediaFire and then create a link to that page from your Wiki. For videos, Wikispaces likes the .flv format which is flash video. If your file is not in the .flv format, use a media converter like www.media-convert.com

How to upload:

1. In the Page edit mode, click "File" 2. Click "+Upload Files" 3. Choose the file from your computer 4. Click the file to select it - once the file has finished uploading, you will see it in the large box. 5. Double click the file to insert it on your page.

Using the Video Upload Widgets:

1. Upload your video to YouTube or TeacherTube (you will need to create an account on those sites, if you don't already have one) 2. Create a new page for your video, or if you already have a page that you wish to upload the video onto, click "Widget" from the toolbar 3. Select "Video" from the categories on the right. 4. Select the appropriate upload site- YouTube, TeacherTube, Google Video or Yahoo Video 5. The on-screen directions will tell you to go to that upload site and select the video you want to embed into your wiki, look for "embed" on the upload site, copy the text from that box into the box on your widget screen and then click "save."
