Once a channel is created, media can be added for viewing. See the Create Playlists and Add Media to Playlists articles for more information on creating channel playlists.

Note: Site and channel roles are needed to add media to a channel. See the Mediaspace Roles & Channel User Management article.

2. Click Media Upload and select your file. There are multiple ways to add new media, see related Add New Media articles.
