After the dropdown opens (or a new window opens) that displays the text editor for creating a forum post, you can add various attachments in two different ways - insert and attach.

1. Insert an image or video directly into the Text Editor field.

Step 1: Make sure your file meets the requirements for uploading to Moodle - do not exceed 5MB in size.

Step 2: Select the appropriate icon from the insert media icons in the text editor menu.

• Images: you can upload any standard image file and insert it into the text field. You can also drag and drop images directly into the text field.
• Kaltura Videos: you will need to upload your video file to the Kaltura bank in order to insert it here.
• Record audio/video: The automatic recorders allow you to record 4 minutes of content directly from your computer's camera and microphone. Video files are automatically saved to your Kaltura bank. Audio files are saved to the file server.

Step 3: Select Post to Forum

2. Add a file via the Attachment section (eg. pictures, documents, videos, etc.) 

Step 1: Navigate to 'Advanced', located to the right of the Post and Cancel buttons below the text-editor window. This will open the post in a single window and display an attachment field below.

Step 2: You can drag and drop files into the Attachment field or upload from your computer using the add new file icon  .

This option is useful for other file-types that are not images or videos:

• word documents
• slideshows
• PDFs
• etc.
