While the file is uploading, enter the session’s information:

The Upload to round button will become when all required information is entered and after the video is 100% uploaded.
Video processing time
Important: your newly created session will take a few minutes to process before it can be viewed. Processing time varies based on the file size and format. You will receive an email when the video is ready to be viewed, or if it failed to process.
Note: if the uploaded video fails to process, it will not count against your session limit.
