Access LMS Evo supports the upload of certain types of video and audio files in courses, enabling you to track or bookmark these module types and award CPD automatically.

Video and audio files can be uploaded either as a standalone module, or added directly to an eCreator page.

🤓 Tip: It's recommended to compress and encode files before uploading for optimum performance. Programs such as Handbrake for videos or Audacity for audio are free, open source software that you can use for this purpose.

The table below indicates the compatible formats and respective maximum file sizes.
