**Who can access this: **

- Included in all plans
- Anyone with the Media Collections and Media Items permission
:::

Media Collections allow you to upload various types of media—from videos and images to audio and PDFs—into a single, slide-style viewer. A collection can include just one item or a curated set of mixed media.

Once created, a Media Collection can be linked within other content types like Focus Content. You can also boost visibility by attaching it to an App View Challenge. All uploaded items are saved to your Media Library for easy reuse.

## When to use it

Media Collections are perfect for sharing multiple types of media in a slide deck. They work well for:

- A series of exercise videos
- PowerPoint slides converted to a PDF or video 
- A slideshow that includes both videos and images
- An audio recording of a class
- Onboarding materials

## Supported media types

You can upload any combination of the following:

- **Images:** Upload JPG or PNG files.
- **Videos**: Share MP4 videos you've created. 
- **PDFs**: Include a single or multi-page PDF.
- **Audio**: Upload MP3 audio files.
