Uploading


All content in Wistia must be uploaded inside a Project. Projects work just like folders on your computer - great for organizing and managing your stuff.

To create a new Project, select New Project under the Actions menu.

Once you are in your new Project, give it a title by clicking   next to the title bar (it's called "Untitled Project" by default).

Now we're ready to upload a video.

Select Upload Media under the Project Actions menu.

From the upload dialogue box, choose the file to upload from your computer.

Note

To upload multiple media at once, hold down the shift or control buttons while browsing.

Once a file has been chosen, you will see the progress of the file uploading as in the image below.

If you are having trouble with uploads completing, please try our simple uploader. Most upload troubles are caused by Flash plugin issues - the Simple Uploader does not use Flash. One downside - no progress bar.

For instructions on the best way to encode your video prior to uploading it, check our video exporting page.
