Lectopia Staff Tool
Upload a new recording
Below your unit recording list there is a tool that offers the option to ‘Upload a New Recording’.
This tool is the staff self-service upload tool. This tool can be used to upload existing audio or video files to Lectopia. Care must be taken to avoid unintentionally overwriting existing recordings – if you are in the unit details section, clicking ‘upload new recording’ will allow you to add another date to your recording schedule. However, if you have clicked on a recording from the schedule and are in the recording details section, clicking ‘upload a new recording’ will overwrite the recording whose details you are currently viewing.
Once you have clicked on ‘upload a new recording’, a new window will open that will allow you to enter details of the recording you intend to upload;
After entering the recording details and clicking next, you will be asked to specify the recording type and output formats. Information on the available formats can be found on the Compression settings page.
Finally, you will be asked to browse to the file that you wish to upload. NOTE: it is at this stage that you may be asked to confirm that you want to run the upload application. Always click ‘run’ to confirm and move to the file upload screen.
Browse to the file that you wish to upload, select it and then click ‘upload’ to complete the process. The file may take several minutes to upload depending on its size - you will be shown a progress bar indicating the status of the upload.
