File Upload Process

The File Uploads option allows you to define the file formats that users upload to the Hub. Users can upload:

  • Audio files
  • Video files
  • Images
  • Presentations
  • Spreadsheets
  • and more!

By default, Bigtincan supports a number of file formats. Additionally, you can add new file formats and delete the file formats that you don't require. Navigate from Platform Configuration > Files > File Uploads

Any video that is uploaded to the Hub is converted and optimized for a better viewing experience. If users choose to download videos, the downloaded videos will be in the optimized MP4 format.
