Audio File
This topic explains how to add an audio file to Brightspot.
For a wire frame example of what this content type can look like on your site, see Audio File design.
Note
While Brightspot supports uploading any file type, the audio file content type is designed to play audio files directly in a web browser; therefore, only upload audio types that are supported by web browsers.
Certain browsers and older versions of browsers may not play certain file types. As such, Brightspot recommends verifying that a file type is supported in the Browser support section of Cross-browser audio basics.
