    Upload Video as Content

    Instructors do not have wait for the uploaded media file to finish processing to continue creating the topic. While the media file remains unavailable during processing, instructors can navigate away from the upload page to work on other content creation tasks. If another user attempts to access the media file in the topic before processing is complete, a message prompts them to wait for the media file to become available. When processing is complete (or the uploaded media file is invalid or corrupted), a notification displays from Update alerts on the navbar, with a link to the organization home page.
    Media File Processed Notification
    While you wait for processing to complete, do the following:

    1. Type a Title for your video. This will become the Video Title Link within the content module.
    2. Once complete, a preview will display. Optional: Click play to view the video.
    3. Optional: Under the preview, click Change File if you need to select a different audio or video file.
