Depending on your business, you may want to also sell Audio Content on your Uscreen page. For example, if you want to add just a short session of meditation without any footage, you can sell the audio as part of a playlist.
Currently, there are two options to accomplish this:
Add Audio files as a Resource
First, add the audio as a Resource by following the step-by-step help guide. Then, add a short video to your catalog and add the audio file as a Resource to that video. What this will do is create a Resources tab below your video player so your users can download the file when they click on the video.
To download the audio file, users will have to purchase the video.
After purchasing it, they will navigate to the Resources tab, below the player, and click on Download.
2. Add the audio as "background" sound to a placeholder image
When you have your audio file ready, within your video editor, add the file and a placeholder image to have a background for the audio. That way, the video will with just the placeholder image. The users will be purchasing the video, which is in fact, the audio version of your content.
Downloading of Resources
When downloading resources like .mp3 files or other attachments linked to videos or collections, the experience is designed to be simple and quick. However, the time it takes to download a resource can vary depending on a few factors:
File Size: Larger files, like high-resolution images or extensive PDFs, may take longer to download than smaller resources.
Internet Speed: The speed of the download is primarily dependent on your internet connection. If you're on a slower connection, it may take longer for the file to fully download.
Device Performance: On some devices, particularly older models or those with limited memory, downloading large files might cause delays.
Managing Download Times
If you notice that downloads are taking longer than expected, the cause is usually on your end. Here are a few tips to speed things up:
Check Your Connection: A stronger, faster internet connection will reduce download times. Try switching to a more reliable Wi-Fi network if possible.
Download One File at a Time: If you're downloading multiple resources, stagger them to avoid overwhelming your connection.
Free Up Device Space: Make sure your device has enough available storage for large files, as a lack of space can sometimes slow down the process.
If issues persist, it may help to test the download on a different device or network to isolate the problem.
