2. Media Types List Overview

Note that on the Media Types list, there's an Audio type and a Video type. Both of these are local media types. This means that these types of files are uploaded into the site.

Due to resource constraints, the OSU Drupal 8 distribution doesn't allow for the uploading and storage of local audio and video files. They take up a lot of space and often aren't well managed.

Instead, we'll provide some third-party options such as media handlers for YouTube and SoundCloud.
