Upload files and transfer to devices
Use the Resources page to upload files that can be used in the following scenarios:
- Distribute files to multiple devices at once
- Play or display media files during broadcasts
- Include in a playlist
Size limit for file types
Manager accepts a wide variety of formats. However, the following size limits apply for certain file types:
Media type | Format | Size limit |
---|---|---|
Video | MP4 | 500Â MB |
Image | JPG, PNG | 30Â MB |
Audio | MP3, AAC | 30Â MB |
All other file types | Non-app / non-media | 100 MB |
Manager Advanced supports up to 15GB of total storage. To stay within this limit, consider these best practices:
- Optimize files before uploading so they don't take up much storage space.
- Regularly delete files you no longer need to free up space.
- Avoid using Manager as a cloud storage solution.
