2. Click the **Add File** button to launch your local file browser.
3. Select the file/s you want to upload.
4. Click the confirmation button (**Ok**/**Open**/etc.).
The files are uploaded directly to the current folder you are in.
💡 Use *shift+click* or *command+click* to select multiple files to upload at one time.
Alternatively, you can also drag-and-drop files directly from your desktop to upload files.

2. Drop the file in the dashed line box to upload it to the current folder.
> ℹ️ To upload a file to a specific folder, drag the file to the folder. When the folder is highlighted in blue, drop the file. You are redirected to the folder and the file is uploaded there.
Once files are uploaded, you can share the file with your students or participants by either playing the files from the Files area or the Playlist area.
To play a file from the Files area:
1. Click **Files **on the top bar.
2. Navigate to the file you wish to share and select it.
3. Click **Play**.
By default, all microphones are disabled while a video is being played in the room. This is to prevent echoes caused by participants’ speakers being streamed back into the room. Microphones are re-enabled automatically when the video is paused or stopped.
You can save time finding files during your session by using the playlist to organize your files ahead of time. The playlist can hold up to 50 items at a time.
To add previously uploaded files to your playlist:
1. Click **Files** on the top bar.
2. Click the **Add File** button and/or select the file(s) you want to share in the live session.
