You are able to upload any file type into the course environment; however, only certain types are able to embed, meaning that they can be played or viewed within the course without having to be downloaded.
File types that embed into BOCCE are:
- Audio
- MP3
- M4A
- Documents
- Video
- MP4
- MOV
- WebM
- M4V
- Picture
- JPEG
- PNG
File types other than the ones listed above will not embed in the course environment, but can still be uploaded and downloaded
YouTube videos that are shared via a link are able to be viewed directly in BOCCE, as long as that individual video's permissions on YouTube are set to allow embedding. To share a YouTube video in BOCCE:
- Navigate to the video you wish to share and copy the URL
- If you want to have your video start at a certain point
- Navigate to your desired start point on the video and pause it
- Click the Share button on the YouTube Page
- Click the Start At check box
- Click Copy to get the appended URL
- In BOCCE paste the URL as either a new post, or a reply to a comment that is already there.
- When you submit your post, the video will then embed and be viewable directly in BOCCE.
Songs from Tidal will also function in a similar way, when the URL is copied from either the Tidal app or website and will also embed directly into BOCCE.
