This document describes how to upload audio/video files from local storage or a URL in the VOD console.
Note:
Formats including WMV, RM, MOV, MPEG, MP4, 3GP, FLV, AVI, and RMVB are supported.
During upload, you can visit other pages of the VOD console, but do not close the browser or access the console of another product. Doing so will interrupt the upload.
Web upload supports checkpoint restart and upload queues. We recommend you use Chrome. If you use Internet Explorer, make sure the version is 10 or later.
