Dropbox places bandwidth restrictions on how much can be streamed from your account. (Note: We recommend only using Dropbox for small video files. In the resulting dialog: click Create link, click Copy link, then paste the link into Perusall. This is not a limit on our side-The limit platforms like google drive is not just on how much storage space is used, but how much is transferred/downloaded by students- example: when a student watches the video the video is downloaded to their computer-so if a lot of students watch the video over a short period of time and the video file is large then you could hit the bandwidth limit. Consider using YouTube or Vimeo for larger files.) Dropboxįind the file in Dropbox, then click the Share button.

YouTube only provides captions to Perusall when they are uploaded by the video author (i.e., YouTube's automatically-generated captions won't show up in the Perusall player). The video must be publicly accessible (Perusall won't be able to import private videos).Īccessibility notes: Perusall will show captions on YouTube videos when available.
