NOTE: These instructions are also available via the Help button on Connect. 
If a student has a video larger than 150 MB, s/he may want to consider compressing it to a smaller size.  Theoretically, Connect Public Speaking will accept videos up to 500 MB, but most people’s internet connections are not suitable to uploading files that are so large.  Compression is actually quite simple, and will make the whole uploading process easier for many students.  To get started, students will need to download free software from the internet and install it on their computers.  Detailed instructions for Windows and Macintosh follow:
