Audio files in Stream

Hi  I want to drop audio files into Stream. Knowing that the application doesn't support them, I converted them to WAVE which is supposed to be supported but it doesn't work. What can I do about it...

    We don't support audio only files. If you did convert them into a video then you could upload it just like other videos.

     

    You could use PowerPoint as a simple tool to make a video for your audio file.

     

    Enable the "Recording" tab in PowerPoint.

    File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Right hand list check the box next to "Recording"

     

    Make a slide with whatever info you want to display. Title, speaker, date of recording, etc.

     

    Insert the audio file into the slide

    Recording tab > Audio > Audio on my PC

    (It should by default be marked to play automatically)

     

    Publish the powerpoint and audio to Stream

    Recording tab > Publish to Stream > Give it a title/description, check upload original PPT > Click publish

     

     

    When it's done making a video on your PC, it will upload that video to Stream and give you back a link to the video. You can then set/change the permissions.
