Types of video's that can be uploaded (in Interactive Video, Peer Review, Assignment Review or Comprehension of Video) 

While FeedbackFruits doesn’t enforce a hard limit on file sizes and instead uses a fair use policy, we recommend that files that are uploaded are smaller than 2 GB. The bigger a file is, the longer it will take to upload and process, with internet connection instability potentially causing issues.

  • mp4

  • m4v

  • mpg

  • wmv

  • mov

  • avi

  • webm

  • flv

  • mkv

You can add videos by URL from YouTube or Vimeo, as long as they're publicly accessible. Videos hosted elsewhere will usually work too, as long as the site supports MP4 or HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playback. For the full list of supported URLs, check this article.
