Warning: Content uploaded to Lessons is also uploaded to the corresponding folder in Resources. As the Resources tool has a 1GB quota per site, the instructions below are only recommended for short audio clips of a few minutes. Longer audio clips will quickly consume the storage in Resources and instead should be uploaded to Panopto. See the Panopto Guide for more information.
