Video and image formats

Eduvem accepts the most common learning material formats. Practical recommendations by type:

  • Prefer MP4 (H.264): it is the format with the best compatibility across browsers and devices.
  • Videos hosted on external services can also be embedded in the content, depending on the institution’s configuration.
  • For audiences with limited internet, export at a balanced resolution (720p is usually enough for lectures).
  • JPG for photos and PNG for graphics, screenshots and images with text.
  • The content’s cover image appears on the showcase: use good-resolution artwork and avoid small text.
  • PDF is the recommended format for course booklets, guides and reading material: it preserves the layout on any device.
  • Convert presentations and spreadsheets to PDF before publishing, so everyone sees the same result.

Every upload made in the content editor has a ceiling. A file exactly at the limit is refused - read each line as “less than”.

File type Limit
Video Less than 2 GB
Audio Less than 250 MB
Document (PDF) Less than 50 MB
Everything else (a single image, 3D projects and whatever comes next) Less than 20 MB

Importing several images as slides has its own, tighter limit - see Importing images or a PDF as slides. The Activity lecture has its own too, configurable per lecture - see Activity.
