Creating and Uploading Content

Resource for

All Channels

This resource will show you how to use the Steppit’s features to record and upload content that will make your online course stand out from the rest. The first thing you’ll need to have completed before starting this process is to plan out your course and sessions. We have two guides on how to do that:

Once you’re ready to get started, navigate to your course, select a unit and then one of your steps. Since you’ve made your session plan, you should see a handful of bits for you to create content for.

Uploading to your Session

You can add videos, audio and images to the sessions you teach in your course.

Videos and audio files can be recorded directly through the Steppit platform, and the Steppit app makes it easier to quickly film and record content straight from your phone.

Where to upload your course content on Steppit

Open your course > open a session
Add a new blank bit of content to your session by clicking ‘Add a Bit’
Select a media type
Record your video or audio, or upload your content from your files.

Recording and Uploading Videos

When you select video as your media type, you can film directly within your session and upload videos to your session in the following ways:

📹 Record Video (from web cam or record your screen)
⬆ Upload Video (from your files)
🤳🏼 Film by Phone (link to your Steppit app)

Record Videos by Phone with the Steppit App

When you select 'Film by Phone', you will be shown a QR code that can link to your Steppit app to film and upload your clip.

On your desktop, click 'Film by Phone' when you select the video media type to bring up the QR code
Open the Steppit app on iOS or Android
Log in and tap 'Scan a code from steppit.com'
Hold your device's camera up to the QR code on screen to begin filming your clip.

Record Videos on the Web (Webcam or Screen Recording)

When you select 'Record Video', you can select whether you want to record using your web cam or record your screen. Record and upload your video to add it to your session.

Recording and Uploading Audio Files

To upload audio files, choose the ‘Audio' media type and select whether you would like to 'Record Audio' directly in Steppit or 'Upload Audio' one from your files.

Batch Uploading Content

In a hurry? If you have a number of videos, audio files or images ready to add to your session, you can upload them in batch using our batch uploader feature.

Within your course, open a session

Click the 'Batch Upload Clips' button
Drag your files onto the area or select from your files (max 5 clips recommended)
