Adding videos to your course is easy with Articulate Storyline. We can add video files to the course in three different ways.
- Add videos that are saved on your hard disc,
- Add videos from different websites, and

Let’s see how to do it.
Articulate Storyline supports many video file formats. It originally supports MP4, SWF, and FLV. All the other video formats are converted to MP4 after publishing the course.
