Currently, users can upload audio files to the Document Center and then reference the items using HTML. Users must have appropriate Document Center permissions to add or update files.
This is not a recommended practice for video files due to HTML video links not being supported on all browsers (for example, Internet Explorer). It allows the use of small media files without linking to another site. Using large files in this way can detrimentally affect site load speeds.
The only file format supported by the same browsers as the content management system (CMS) is MP3. Any other formats may not work correctly depending on the web browser.
There is no built-in tool or widget to house media files. Media files can be referenced using any widget or item that allows HTML editing. This includes but is not limited to Custom HTML widgets, Editor widgets, or Info Advanced items.
