As a manager in Spark, you can upload and manage videos to share with trainees. You can configure how videos are accessed and played, including whether trainees can skip through a video and how much they need to watch for it to count as watched.
Before you start
Videos must meet the following requirements before uploading:
- Supported formats: MP4 (H.264/AAC) or WebM (VP8/VP9)
- Maximum file size: 500MB.
- Other file formats will be rejected. Videos using other codecs my not play in every browser.
- Please compress videos before uploading them.

Under training content select Videos.
On the video summary page, select Upload new video.
