VoiceThread Docs / VoiceThread Basics / Creating / Uploading files from your computer

There are two ways to add files from your computer to a VoiceThread slide.

From the create page

  1. Drag and drop the files from your computer onto the create page.
  2. Click on the “Add from computer” button, and then select the files you want to upload. (If you have already created a slide in this VoiceThread, click “Add media” and then “Add from computer.")

Once you’ve added your file, it will upload and process. The upload status is visible as a progress bar at the bottom of the page, and then the processing phase will show a loading icon inside the slide thumbnail.

Once the file processes, the thumbnail will show an image of the slide, and you’ll see a confirmation message at the top of the screen.

From an open VoiceThread
