Upload videos
This article describes how to upload videos in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce site builder.
The Commerce site builder Media Library allows you to upload videos. You should always upload the version of a video with the highest bitrate and resolution, because the system automatically converts video to be suitable for different viewports and their breakpoints.
Video information specified during upload
When you upload a video, the following information can be specified.
- Title, Description, Keywords: Metadata of the video.
- Automatically generate closed captions: Specifies whether closed captions should be automatically generated for the video (only English language is supported).
- Closed Caption: Specifies the closed captions to use.
- Regular Audio: Specifies the regular audio track to use.
- Thumbnail: Specifies the thumbnail for the video. If not specified, it is generated automatically.
- Descriptive Audio: Specifies the descriptive audio track to use.
Upload a video
To upload a video in site builder, follow these steps.
- In the left navigation pane, select Media Library.
- On the command bar, select Upload > Upload Media Items.
- In the File Explorer window, navigate to and select one or more video files to upload, and then select Open.
- In the Upload Media Item dialog box, enter the required title and alt text.
- Enter optional description and keywords and select a category if desired.
- If you want to publish the videos immediately after upload, select the Publish media items after upload checkbox.
- Select OK.
If you're uploading multiple types of assets simultaneously (for example, images and videos), in the Upload Media Item dialog box you're only able to specify keywords, whether the files should be published immediately after upload, and whether closed captions should be automatically generated for video files. All the assets share the same keywords.
