How can I add videos to the 'Data Room' in Kato?
Kato does not support direct video uploads to the 'Data Room.' Instead, videos must be hosted on an external platform, such as YouTube or Vimeo, and added to the 'Data Room' via a URL link. This ensures that videos are accessible without requiring Kato to host large media files directly.
Steps to Add Videos to the 'Data Room'
Host Your Video Externally: Upload your video to a supported video hosting platform, such as YouTube or Vimeo.
Copy the Video Link: Once your video is uploaded, copy the URL link provided by the hosting platform.
Add the Link to Kato: - Navigate to the 'Data Room' tab in Kato. - Select the option to add a new video. - Paste the copied URL into the designated field.
Save the Changes: Confirm the addition of the video link to make it accessible within the 'Data Room.'
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Drag-and-Drop Not Working: If you attempt to drag and drop video files directly into the 'Data Room,' they will not upload. This is because Kato does not support direct video file uploads. Ensure you are using a URL link from a supported external platform.
Unsupported Video Platforms: If your video link is not accepted, verify that the platform is supported by Kato. Currently, platforms like YouTube and Vimeo are recommended.
FAQs
Why can't I upload videos directly to Kato?
Kato is designed to reference externally hosted videos rather than hosting them directly. This approach minimizes storage requirements and ensures smoother playback by leveraging the capabilities of dedicated video hosting platforms.
Can I use any video hosting platform?
While Kato supports popular platforms like YouTube and Vimeo, compatibility with other platforms may vary. Ensure the platform provides a shareable URL that can be added to Kato. By following these steps and guidelines, you can effectively add videos to the 'Data Room' in Kato without encountering upload issues.
How do credits work?
The credits relate to the number of times a data room is published, rather than the number you can have published at any one time.
Each time you publish a data room, one credit is used. Unpublishing that data room does not return the credit to your allowance.
So, if you purchase 12 credits, you can publish 12 data rooms in total. Once those 12 credits have been used, you would then move onto the next pricing tier to publish any additional data rooms.
