About
You can import content into My Media using a direct URL. This lets you quickly upload video, audio, or image files that are already hosted online.
The URL must be a direct, public link to the media file.
Import from a URL
1. In your Video Portal, click the Create button in the top navigation bar and select Import from URL.
The 'Import from URL' window opens.
2. Paste in the URL of the file you want to upload.
Supported protocols are: http, https and ftp. The Import button stays disabled until the URL is valid.
3. Click Import.
While the media is processing, the 'Import from URL' window shows the current status and lets you update the entry details:
- Name
- Description
- Tags
- Custom data
Once the media status changes to 'Uploading' or 'Processing', you can close the window. The upload continues in the background.
From the top of the window, you can:
- Select Media page to open the media page
- Use the Private button to publish the entry after the media status shows Ready (see Publish media for more information)
4. Click Save & Close to save your changes and close the window
