Ways to upload
Stream provides four ways to upload videos to cover a diverse set of use cases.
| Upload method | When to use |
|---|---|
| Stream Dashboard | Quick, one-time uploads where automation is not required |
| Copy via link | The video library is stored in a cloud storage bucket |
| Direct creator uploads | The end user is uploading videos but does not have access to your API tokens, such as if you have your users uploading content to your website or mobile app |
| Upload video file | When the video file is stored on a computer with access to your API tokens |
