Upload files from your device
Use this method when you have media files on your local machine that you want to bring into MK.IO. The upload creates a new asset and copies the files directly into your connected cloud storage (Azure or S3).
You need at least one storage account connected to your MK.IO project before uploading. See Connect cloud storage.
Supported file types
Section titled “Supported file types”You can upload any of the following:
- Video: MP4, MOV, MXF, MKV, AVI, TS
- Audio: MP3, AAC, WAV
- Subtitles / captions: VTT, SRT, TTML

For production streaming, MP4 (H.264/AAC) is the most reliable source format for encoding jobs.
