Schoolbox has a built-in video transcoding system which enables users to upload, store and publish videos within Schoolbox. These features are available in addition to being able to embed video's from YouTube and other 3rd party sources. The in-built video module is a great solution for anyone not wanting to upload their content to a 3rd party system.

The video component will display natively via HTML5. The format and size of the transcoded video has been selected to be as compatible with as many browsers as possible, as well as give the best experience on low bandwidth devices such as on a mobile data connection. Videos that have been uploaded to Schoolbox will be transcoded to be available through the video component on a homepage.
Transcoded Video Specifications:
Please note that videos will be rotated to the correct orientation if there is rotation information in the Videos exif data. Apple's iPad/iPhone provides this data automatically.

When you upload a Video to Schoolbox, we run a series of converters on it to make sure its accessible by all computers, and tablets.
Once your video is uploaded it will take a maximum of 5 Minutes for our system to pick up the video and start this process, your video will now be listed as 'Processing' in the Video component.
How long this takes to process is entirely dependant on the file size of your video, for example;
- A 10 Minute video, of 20MB, you will have an expected wait time of 5-7 minutes.
- A 6 Minute video, of 100MB, you will have an expected wait time of 10-15 minutes.
This can still vary depending on quality, but should give you a vague idea.
If you have waited far past these times and your video is not of excessive size, its possible that there was a error in the video, and it has not processed correctly.
You can possibly fix this yourself by;
- Attempting to play the video and seeing if there are any issues on your Computer.
- Converting the video to another video format.
If that doesn't work, feel free to contact support and supply them with your video!
