Upload media, including 360 photos and video

How the media uploader works: picking the right kind, Insta360 .insp and .insv support, batch limits, and why files must reach Ready before you can use them.

Steps

1. Go to Media in the top navigation (/creator/media) and find the Upload new files section.
2. Pick a Kind first: Image, 360 photo, Audio, Video, 360 video, Drone video, or Transcript. The kind decides which files are accepted and how the viewer treats them later.
3. Choose your files. You can upload up to 5 files at a time. Insta360 files are supported directly: picking a .insp file switches the kind to 360 photo and a .insv file switches it to 360 video, and the app rewraps them automatically so Cloudinary accepts them.
4. Check the queued rows before uploading. A row marked Wrong kind means that file's extension does not match the selected kind: change the Kind or remove the file.
5. Click Upload. Files go straight from your browser to Cloudinary with a progress bar per file. Keep the tab open until every row reads Ready.
6. Ready is the gate: only files with the Ready status show up in the scene panorama picker and the other media pickers. A file still uploading cannot be placed anywhere.
7. After upload, give each file a short Display name, a Description, and Tags so you can find it later. For videos, attach a transcript file (.srt, .vtt, or .txt): it is required before a course with that video can be published.
8. Mind the size limits: images up to 50 MB, 360 photos up to 100 MB, standard video up to 2 GB, 360 and drone video up to 5 GB, audio up to 500 MB, transcripts up to 5 MB. For 360 photos, use equirectangular images with a 2 to 1 aspect ratio, 4K or better.
