How do I create and manage materials? (Classic)
Materials are media files and web links that attendees can download onto their devices. Organizers can use materials to have attendees review content or complete tasks before, during or after a session. You can upload .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, .xlsx, .txt, .zip, .7z, .rar, .csv, .mp3, .mp4, .avi, .mov, and .wmv files.
